Banana Vanilla Cupcakes

I made these beauties for a Memorial Day party.  It is my basic vegan cupcake recipe with 1/2 cup more flour, 1/2 tsp more baking powder, and two bananas blended in at the end of mixing.  I signify the banana flavor by placing a dried banana chip on the top of the frosting.  And yes those are dinosaur sprinkles I was using!

Yum and done!

Tropical Muffins

This is a recipe I am currently working on so I am not ready to post the actual recipe yet but I am getting close.  The inspiration for these is simply someplace warm!  I am so sick of winter and I just want a little sunshine in my life or I guess in my mouth.  I am taking a traditional banana bread/muffin recipe and adding other fruits.  This round I added dried pineapple, that I rehydrated and banana as well as fresh vanilla.  The pineapple gave it a good flavor but it was a bit chewy.  So back to the drawing board, well the cutting board anyway!  I plan to post my new results sometime in the next week.  I think it is going to be very exciting and delicious!

Yum and done!
