This is a great recipe for the health conscience! Instead of making cupcakes, I used the batter to bake an actual cake (we used it to celebrate our son's "potty party" - as you can see in the picture). I did have to tweak it a bit though. I added 2 extra bananas and doubled (but would even triple next time) the amount of honey to add more sweetness. For his cake, I also melted down some chocolate and added it in for a healthy chocolate version. This is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

PLEASE RATE MY RECIPES!! :)
My husband and I have been happily married for six years and we have two amazing children!
I stay home with our son and daughter and stay busy in with local mom's groups and activities. I am a certified childbirth educator (bradleybirth.com) and also teach and supervise the Aqua Aerobic department at one of our local gyms. I am somewhat of a health nut/hippee and distribute whole food suppliments (morganlovesjuiceplus.com), but I love to bake and to share my baked goods. There is no better compliment than when some one takes a bite of my very own Chocolate Chip Cookies and says they are the best they've ever tasted! (Sorry, it's a secret recipe!) I would love to open my own bakery someday...
I like to cook for my family too, and have become exceptionally motivated since our son was born. I have been finding myself getting swept away reading cookbooks (while the kids are sleeping). :) I am really enjoying trying new recipes (and so is my husband) and I think I am becomming a "Foodie" so Recipezaar is simply heaven for me!
