• Brown sugar
• Eggs
• Butter
• Bananas
• Powdered sugar
• Creamy peanut butter
• Powdered sugar
• Milk

Recipe Notes

• Don't want to frost them? Skip it! They taste delicious without it.  You can also use your favorite (store brand or homemade) vanilla or cream cheese frosting as a substitute.
• No over mixing your batter! It can give you dense cupcakes.  Simply mix your batter until no dry spots are remaining. 
• This recipe makes about 15 cupcakes, instead of the standard 12. 
• Storage:  Keep any leftover cupcakes in a covered container. If it's really hot/humid in your area, store them in your refrigerator. They are best eaten within a week.
• Freezing:  Let cupcakes cool completely. Then, store plain cupcakes in a freezer safe/covered container or storage bag.  They will be good for several months. When you are ready to eat, let them defrost, then, frost them.
