As a blogger I am finally getting into learning more about SEO, I’m a little late to the SEO party. The truth is it feels like a foreign language and the more I read smoke starts to come out of my ears lol. I have picked up a few pointers though and you will start to see them in the post (ex: headers, numbered lists, etc). I’m experimenting to see if it has an impact with Google. I’ll let you know how it goes 😉 . Any pointers?

This cupcake…gahhhh, leaves me speechless. You just have to taste it for yourself! Then you will see how sweet the banana cupcake is, you will see how the super easy stove top candied pecans crumble away sweetly into the tangy cream cheese frosting and feel the buttery butterscotch melt it all together into the best cupcake you’ve ever had.

1. Bananas! Why do I love baking with them? Let me count the ways:

  • Bananas make everything moist
  • They smell like heaven when baking
  • Bananas are so sweet and delicious tasting

2. Cream Cheese Frosting: Why do I love it on these cupcakes?

  • It’s tangy sweetness makes it one of the best frostings in the world
  • Not only is it rich but it’s a balancer to the all the sweet goodness we’ve got going on here.
  • It super creamy and melts in your mouth!

3. Stove Top Candied Pecans for cupcakes? You bet and here’s why:

  • So easy, all the work is done in one pan on the stove top.
  • In just a few minutes you are pouring these out of a pan to be cooled and crumbled!
  • Most importantly – Candied pecans are a treat by themselves, sweet, brown sugary and crumbly. They take these cupcakes to the next level.

UPDATE AS OF 4/16/18 – Originally I had made a typo and listed the amount of flour as 1/2 cup. This error was fixed to reflect the correct amount of flour to be 1 1/2 cups. If you printed this recipe before the update please reprint. My apologies for the mistake.

    Is it really only 1/2 cup flour. Seems very runny.
    They are in the oven, so I guess I will see!

      Well, these did not turn out.
      They were in for 18 minutes and the toothpick came out clean, but they do not have a “cake” texture. They are way too wet. They looked ok coming out of the oven, but have sunk and shrunk in cooling. I really think the flour measurement is incorrect. Please let me know.

        Hi Deb, you are correct and I am mortified that my mistake on the flour measurement is responsible for these not turning out, so sorry. And though it has been updated now it is of no help to you past tense. I also emailed you directly to discuss further. 🙁

      Hi Deb! You are so right! It should read 1 1/2 cups flour. I have updated the recipe. My apologies for the error 🙁 .
