Banana Bonanza

These suckers are Banana Cupcakes with Brown Butter Frosting.  Divine.  I totally scorched the heck out of the tips of my fingers on a bagel I toasted today.  It hurts to type, but I'll make it through just for you.  So dedicated.



Ingredients:
Banana Bread Cupcakes-
3 ripe bananas - well mashed
2 eggs - well beaten
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line cupcake tins with liners (about 24). 
-Mix the bananas and eggs together in a large bowl.
-Stir in flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
-Distribute batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
-Bake for 1 hour.

Ingredients:
Frosting-
1/3 cup butter
3 cups powdered sugar - sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 -4 tablespoons milk

Directions:
-In a medium saucepan heat 1/3 butter over medium heat until light brown.  Watch carefully for it can burn very quickly!
-Remove from heat, cool for 5 minutes.
-In medium bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable. 
-After the banana bread cupcakes have completely cooled, frost each one and garnish with a sliver of banana!
