Mini Mango Banana Cupcakes – Little Big H

Mini cupcakes – perfect for little hands…

I used my mums cupcakes recipe here but substituted the huge amounts of sugar with mashed banana and honey.  It worked a treat.  H loved them.  The mango on top is lovely paired with the banana and they are light and fluffy.  

They are super easy to make and it almost all happens in the one bowl – so get the kids involved.  I used a mini muffin tin as they are just the right size for kids.  If mangos aren’t in season try apple, pear, or add a handful of dark chocolate chips.

  • 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
  • 125 g softened butter
  • 3 eggs; light whisked
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 ripe bananas; mashed
  • 1 mango cheek; finely sliced
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 C/350 F. Sift the flour into a bowl of an electric mixer. Add the remaining ingredients except the mango. Beat on medium speed for 2 – 3 minutes. Fill mini pastry cases 3/4 full.
  2. Top with a slice of mango and an extra drizzle of honey if you like. Bake for 15 minutes.
