These Banana Cupcakes with Honey Cinnamon Icing are delicious. I mostly followed Martha Stewart's recipe (click here for original recipe link), you can't go wrong with Martha right? I shared these at a belated birthday brunch for dessert and I watched my friend's 2 year old gobble up an entire cupcake! The "cupcakes" are also great without icing too, they are like banana muffins. But I was told the icing is one of the best parts haha. Enjoy!
