I found the cupcakes to be a bit dry. I think I might add some more bananas or butter next time.

The frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cupcakes themselves are delicious.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up ripe bananas. I always have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
