Three color banana mini cupcakes

As seemingly obvious these were quick mini cupcakes. I had some older bananas which needed using as they started to brown and kids did not find them attractive enough to eat. I have tiny silicone forms for cupcakes so here we go…

100 g of self-rising flour

100 g of caster sugar

100 g of butter

1 egg

1 table spoon of water

1 small mashed banana

1/2 tea spoon of coco powder and 3 drops of pink coloring.

175 g of icing sugar

50 g of butter

½ mashed banana

Pink coloring

Small sweets

(If you want to use up more bananas multiply all ingredients by number of bananas used. Also if you use bigger size cupcakes.)

Mix ingredients together and make it into smooth paste. Separate butter into three. One stays white, one color pink and last mix with coco powder.

Use tea spoon to fill cupcake with all three butters. Fill forms into ¾ as these will rise. Bake in pre-heated oven on gas mark 4 for 10 – 12 minutes. Check the cakes are baked by poking then with cocktail stick. Allow chilling. Remove silicone forms. All three colors should be visible.

Prepare icing for cupcakes. Twirl some on the top of the cupcakes and finish it with sweets.
