Cupcakes are much more interesting than cake, in my opinion. I know cupcakes are meant to be indulgent, but I wanted to attempt a slightly more nutritious version. At first, I wasn’t going to make them healthier, but the better half of me couldn’t resist – plus, I saw it as a challenge. I found a great looking recipe for Peanut Butter-Banana Cupcakes at Visions of Sugar Plum. The frosting magically came together on the first try. All in all, I consider these “adult” cupcakes. First reason being that I meant to add amaretto to the batter, but forgot. Second reason is that they are not overly sweet, you can actually taste the cake and the frosting separately. Most cupcakes use the cake as a platform for a monster glob of frosting. These cupcakes are a little more refined and quite a bit healthier.
