About the bake

These banana, honey and cinnamon cupcakes are simply divine. They are a combination of soft, moist banana bread sweetened with unrefined sugar and honey with a hint of warm spice from the cinnamon.

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C, gas mark 4) and line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases.

    2. Step 2

      Cream together the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time beating after each one.

      Ingredients for this step

      • Egg(s) (free range) (medium) (2)
    3. Step 3

      In a bowl mash the bananas with the milk, vanilla extract and honey and add this to the butter sugar mixture, beating until just combined.

      • Banana(s) (3)
      • Milk (50ml)
      • Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract (0.5 tsp)
