    I am making these banana cupcakes for my dad! The batter tasted great and I've put the cupcakes into the oven right now. However, I do have some leftover batter... I don't know what I've done wrong. Has anybody experienced this problem before? What can I do?

    Cupcakes were very dense, very uncupcake like and more of a muffin. Still yummy, a bit too sweet but good none the less.

      If the frosting is too sweet then add a pinch or two of salt. It easily cuts down on the sweetness, and you wont even taste the salt! Salt is an ingredient most bakers use in their frosting. I do not know why this recipe does not mention it.

    I love banana muffins so much, so when I found out there was a banana cupcake I went right to it. I hope I am not disappointed by this recipe, and that the frosting creates stiff peaks that are good for piping. I'll let you know my thoughts on the recipe after its made!

    I really wanted to like this recipe but sadly I cannot. I used muffin cups and the oil from the butter seeped through the cups and into the muffin pan. It was drinking with grease. The top were hard and the centre was too wet. I will stick to my food.com recipe. Sorry Martha

      I wonder what happened. That's weird. I used paper muffin cups as well & that didn't happen to me. Hmm wish I could tell u why that happened so u can retry because these are worth it. They're so delicious!!

      heya yes i had the same problem with the cases being soaked with the butter and oil, until 2 days ago when i was given a geat tip to keep the colour in all ur cupcake cases, so here goes, :-) if you get some rice (any kind) uncooked, and put some into the bottoms of each of ur cupcake pans,enough just to cover the bottom, then place ur cases on top of the rice, then put mixture into cases, the rice is meant to absorb all of the oils so ur cases will be as good as new, hope this helps,x

    These are the most delicious & easy cupcakes. They're also nice & moist, And the Honey Cinnamon Frosting pairs very well with these & is also easy & delicious. It makes 12 good size cupcakes as the recipe states. This recipe will be a regular in my kitchen :)

    When it says 350 degrees, I assume that's in Fahrenheit, right? It would be good to clarify these things for non-US users.

      @Aihpos, considering 350 degrees Fahrenheit is 662 degrees celsius, I'm pretty sure clarification is not needed...

        Well technically 350 degrees Fahrenheit is 177 degrees Celsius. And 350 degrees Celsius would be 662 degrees Fahrenheit. But close enough.

    Is it normal that they're too soft? I think they are ready but they are way too soft? Is it because of the banana??? Is it normal??

    Really good cupcakes! I use the recommended recipe for icing, but replace the honey with dark rum for a delicious rum-cinnamon icing. A real treat!
