Banana Cupcakes
Wanda Thole
"'This recipe was given to me by my mother, and I've since handed it down to my daughters,' says Wanda Thole of Leonard, Minnesota. 'The moist cupcakes are topped with frosting that comes together in no time. And if you'd like even more banana taste, stir some mashed banana into it.'"

Excellent! Every time I serve these, I have someone ask me for the recipe. I've made them with buttermilk and with a milk/vinegar combo when I don't have buttermilk on hand, and they always turn...

These were excellent! We are banana bread snobs and it got a thumbs-up from my husband (his mouth was full of cupcake). Like other reviewers, I used butter instead of shortening, regular milk wi...
