Ingredients

2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups bananas, mashed (use over ripe bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt

1/2 cup margarine, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla

Container:Cupcake tins

Directions

PREP

90 mins

COOK

20 mins

Cream butter and sugar.
Beat in eggs and mashed banana.
Mix in the vanilla, flour, baking soda and salt.
Place cupcake liners in each cup of the tins. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter in each cupcake liner.
Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
Cool completely before frosting.

FROSTING:

Cream margarine and cream cheese.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla. A little more powdered sugar can be added to make the frosting firmer if needed.
Add two drops of yellow food coloring to 1 drop of red food coloring to color the frosting orange. Continue to add food coloring at this ratio until the frosting is the desired shade of orange.
Spread frosting in a mounded fashion to create the look of the top of a pumpkin.
Use butter braided pretzels to create the stem. If you want to add a Jack-o-lantern face use any type of black candy that you can cut into the desired shape or black decorating sprinkles if you can find a shape that will work.
Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator.

"I made these the weekend before Halloween and the kids thought they were a lot of fun. They love banana bread so the really liked the banana cupcakes. I cut up black licorice for the face but wished I could have found something easier to use."
