Brownie Banana Bread Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Frosting. Today is a special day! It’s a certain someone’s birthday… you know, that guy I live with? Yeah. It’s his birthday. He turns 83 today! Oye. Okay, he’s really only in his 30s. I guess the “he’s older than me” jokes got old themselves about three years ago. This marks the 5th birthday that Mr. I thought he was super old. Next came our first “official” date. Just before we arrived he decided to glance at the tickets and realized they were actually for September 30th – over a week away.
So I stopped fretting about what to plan and simply had to find the perfect gift for his birthday… which was on the 30th. Right?! Yeah. Turns out, his birthday is September 20th. I still have a difficult time deciding what to buy for his birthday considering he has almost everything and what he really wants (a vintage $60,000 Rolex, anyone?) He loves chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes after they’ve been in the fridge, so I went the cupcake route. Him: “Ugh, no. Hmmmm. Fail. So there’s that. Oh! Brownie layer.
