Let me ask you something. You have three very ripe bananas sitting on the counter, getting darker by the hour, and you’re trying to figure out what to do with them. Sound familiar? That’s exactly how these banana cinnamon pecan cupcakes came into my life. I made them on a whim one afternoon and handed one to my neighbor without telling her what was in it.
