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

Very easy to make and very delicious! I doubled the batch, which worked out well considering that half of the cupcakes were gone in less than 24 hours.

The Nutmeg overwhelmed the banana taste. Moist and light.

These cupcakes were awesome! They have a great banana flavor and are very moist. The only problem with this recipe is that it only makes a dozen. I will definitely double the recipe the next time I make them. They were devoured by my family as soon as they were cool enough to eat.

It was an okay recipe. The cupcakes were moist, but I didn't think it had enough banana flavor. Definitely need to add 1/4 cup at least of more banana. Not sure I will make it again.

I used an 8x8 cake pan instead of cupcakes. Moist and tasty...will definately use this again and again.

I thought this recipe was amazing! Instead of a half teaspoon of nutmeg I did a fourth teaspoon of cinammon and about an eighth teaspoon of nutmeg. I also did about two-third cups of mashed banana which was about the same as one and a half average size bananas. The cream cheese I had for the frosting wasn't completely softened so I added about a tablespoon or two of milk and it was as smooth as can be :)
