These cupcakes were hands down my favorite after school snack when I was in elementary school, especially on those early fall days where you would head out in the morning with a sweatshirt on and walk home a sweaty mess. I had to grab this recipe from my mom when I had my own kiddos. My people are allergic to bananas, so I substitute them with Maraschino cherries or just extra strawberries and pineapple. This recipe is a great thing to make with your littles who are still at home. Grab some fun cupcake wrappers and enjoy!
