Back to work with cupcakes

I have a lot of bananas. They are getting riper faster than we can eat them - again. ;o)

Grumpy wants banana bread and yes, I am working on that as I write this post. But, I had more than just 3 bananas that needed to be used, so I went on a food blog search yesterday and found a recipe for Banana Cardamon Cupcakes on Cookworm. I immediately knew these were the cupcakes I was going to make. I loved the ingredients and I especially love the nutmeg sprinkled on top!

I took these cupcakes into work for everyone who missed my cooking, Oops, I mean for those who missed me. Yes, I am back to work as of yesterday. I'll be there part-time until the Dr say's I can go back to full time! I'm healing well and feeling much better!

I had rotting bananas too so I just made a simple banana bread. I wish I had seen this before I did that. Now I'll have to buy more bananas so I can make these :) They look and sound delicious!

Banana cupcakes. Great idea! I'll bet the cardamon added something special as well.

Good to hear that you're well enough to return to work and that the road to recovery doesn't seem quite as long, I hope.

Delicious post, as always!

This is a wonderful flavor combination!

These looks so perfect and so scrumptious! I love cardamom! Banana is a natural to pair up with it.

Coleen's Recipes said...

I love banana cake, it is one flavor that you can't reproduce in a box. That frosting looks excellent.

Linda said...

Glad to see you are back to work part-time. That means you are getting better! :-)
Love these cuppies. I am saving this recipe for those ripe bananas that show up in my house once in awhile!

Your cupcakes look and sound good. I have some cardamom that I purchased but have yet to use. I've not tasted it before. thanks for the recipe. Hopefully I'll get a chance to bake again before to long.
