this week is cupcake week and today i am posting my favorite banana bread recipe as cupcakes. i've tried dozens of recipes and my grandma's recipe is still the best- it always turns out just right.
½ cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 cups smashed bananas
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
½ cup water
topping:
3 oz of melted bittersweet chocolate
Preheat oven to 350° degrees. Prepare muffin tins with liners (makes 24 cupcakes). Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and blend until barely mixed Sift the dry ingredients and gradually add them to the shortening mixture. Add bananas, vanilla, nuts and water as needed to create proper consistency (should be runny, that's what makes them moist). Bake for 23 minutes. The tops should be golden brown. Let the cupcakes cool and if so desired top with the melted chocolate. I prefer mine with sugared butter, so do whatever you want.
next i'm trying the strawberry sprinkles cupcake recipe. i just can't decide how to frost them.

Ali... you read my mind. I accidentally let several bananas go bad this week. I feel like with this recipe, I can turn this around and look like I did it on purpose. Thanks girl!
