I found these cupcakes here after searching for a recipe online that a gal had made and nicely let me sample. I think these would be easy to add whole wheat flour to from food storage.
the Cupcakes...
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (abt 4 medium bananas)
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
the Frosting...
2 sticks (1 cup) margarine, softened
12 oz cream cheese
6 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
To make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and add butter, banana, eggs and vanilla. Stir but do not overmix! This is the secret to yummy muffins! Spoon into prepared muffin pan. This made 12 regular muffins for me as well as a full mini-muffin pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.
The frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar until combined. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Ice the cupcakes.
I topped with Skor bits - chopped nuts are also yummy!
