Banana Split Cupcakes. Roasted banana cupcakes and creamy, fluffy whipped vanilla buttercream topped with strawberry, chocolate, or pineapple sauce and a cherry. I wanted to make some Valentine's Day cupcakes but I wasn't really feeling the traditional Valentine's Day decorations with the red and white hearts and little cupids and arrows. So these cupcakes still have red, white, and chocolate but they also have so much more. I had some very very ripe bananas sitting on my counter that I had to use asap or they would be destined for the trash.
I also have a boyfriend who loves banana splits, in fact he is some sort of banana split purist.... Me: Yah, banana split cupcakes would be tasty! Boyfriend: ...and the two other sauces. Me: Other sauces?? Boyfriend: Banana splits have chocolate, strawberry and pineapple sauce on them Me: Where am I supposed to get pineapple sauce? I used Martha Stewart's recipe for roasted banana cupcakes and I cut the recipe in half.

Brownies. Cookies. Pancakes and Strawberry Butter. In my opinion, pancakes are the most perfect of breakfast foods. However, not all pancakes are created equal and I’ve been on a lifelong quest to find the perfect pancake recipe. My ideal pancake is thick and cakey, yet still maintaining a light fluffiness.
