For the muffins

• 1 over ripe banana

Method

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. Line a muffin tray with paper cases (or grease well) and set aside.
3. Place all muffin ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until smooth and well combined. You could also just mash/stir in a bowl if you prefer.
4. Pour into your prepared muffin tray.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops spring back when lightly pressed.
6. Set aside to cool.
7. While your cupcakes are cooling prepare the frosting.
