Obviously I’m a fan of fruit and sour cream going together in desserts?
I guess I like the tartness of the sour cream combined with the sweetness of the fruits. And in this recipe, the sour cream combined with the bananas also adds a great texture to the cupcake itself.
I don’t usually put nuts on top of these cupcakes, but the nuts were so pretty!
… that sounded inappropriate coming out of my fingertips.
With so many boys in my house growing up, there was a lot of sports talk. Sometimes Famous Julie would wander into a room and walk into the middle of a totally innocent conversation about balls and find it wildly inappropriate.
Soon we were all grounded from the word balls, so to carry on any type of normal conversation we were forced to drop the “b” and just say “alls” instead.
That’s pretty much the drill for circumventing any word that Famous Julie doesn’t like.
And it’s a rap ton of words.
Speaking of inappropriate… a nakey cupcake!
You will love the change of pace from the classic banana bread that we all automatically jump to when forced to bake with overripe bananas.
I’m sure everyone here will be shocked to know that I piled cream cheese frosting on top of these babies. You know of my disdain for cream cheese frosting.
Sarcasm was dripping from that sentence.
I am determined to get really good at piping frosting on top of cupcakes and making it look really pretty.
I guess I’ll have to make more cupcakes.
Darn.
… More sarcasm.

These cupcakes are one of my favorite ways to use up leftover bananas. They are so easy, moist and full of awesome banana flavor!
