When i opened my fridge and saw three lying on the fruit box, some overriped bananas ..i couldn't stand to see them will end-up in the trash bin। So, i decided to do something with them॥and here's the result..Something that extremely moist, soft texture, not gluey, yet it add more flavor with additional dried blueberry and wlanut crunch. Top with melted chocolate and garnished with sugar confetti too. I think, this easy and quickly made cupcakes can be presented as a snack passover on party or coctail.
* Banana Cup Cakes *

Ingredients :
5 Overripe bananas (the riper the better)
4 tbs yoghurt (any kind) i use cherry flavor here
2 tbs butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar (i change the original recipe which using white sugar)and i also reduce the amount. the original said 3/4 cup..for me that's too sweet
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Pecan, roughly chopped
4 tbs dried Blueberry/ chocolate chips (optional)
Dark Chocolate (compound) optional
Sugar confetti for garnish
Paper cupcakes or baking tin


Directions :
  1. Preheat the oven 350 degrees F (180 C) before you prepare the batter. First, mush the bananas with fork, you needn't to blender it. Its easily getting into almost paste like, blend in the yoghurt and butter. Stir well. Then the egg followed. Do not over stirred. Just until they blend together.
  2. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Flour, salt, baking soda, chopped pecan, blueberries/choco chips. Pour into the wet mixture. Stir using spatula only until it blend, do not over stirred. Fill in 2/3 of the cupcakes, then bake about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
  3. Let it cool then you may garnish it with melted chocolate, topping with confetti or shaved chocolate if you like.
