Bananas and white chocolate chips are a perfect pairing of ingredients. One of our favourite cupcake recipes is banana and white chocolate chip cupcakes. They are wonderfully moist and full of flavour. They are amazing straight from the oven while the chocolate chips are melty. They don’t really need any frosting, although a caramel frosting would be a lovely addition if you can’t resist adorning them.
Banana and white chocolate cupcakes are really quick to prepare, so are a great treat when time is short. They freeze well and are a sweet addition to the school or work lunchbox. If your home is anything like ours, they won’t last long!

Well I was about to do some serious blog reading but now I guess I am off to the kitchen to try these out. Purely in the interest of using some very ripe bananas you understand, it is nothing to do with how yummy they look.
Yum….these look so good! I will have to give these a twirl try……
