Banana Toffee Cupcakes

by megan on May 8, 2009

These cupcakes are so rich you don’t really need frosting. The banana, chocolate, and toffee flavors blend perfectly in this cupcake treat. I used the Heath toffee bits, and added more than called for in the original recipe. You can never have too much chocolate and toffee! I used a yellow cake mix this time, but I am going to use a banana cake mix next time for an even stronger banana flavor.

Add bananas; beat until smooth.
Stir in 1/2 cup toffee bits.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
Sprinkle remaining toffee bits on top of each cupcake.
