What makes these tender banana cupcakes extra special is the nutmeg, but make sure it's fresh. They're amazingly good; I get request for them all the time. —Rachel Krupp, Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania

  • Re: Walnut Banana Cupcakes

     Rachel... you just made my day.  I bake cupcakes every week for my hubby.  This morning before he left for work, he specifically requested banana walnut cupcakes.  I figured I would spend most of the morning looking for a recipe.  Took 5 minutes.  I'm going to double, because 12 won't last three days let alone a week.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
