GINA'S BANANA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a (12-cup standard) muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

Incorporate the dry mixture and wet mixture together until thoroughly combined. Add the bananas and 1/2 cup walnuts, being careful not to over mix.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven to a wire rack and let cool before frosting.
