Banana Cupcakes with Honey-Cinnamon Frosting

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 ripe bananas), plus 1 whole banana, for garnish (optional)
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Honey-Cinnamon Frosting (beat ingredients until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes):
1 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon honey
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Make a well in center of flour mixture. In well, mix together butter, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to incorporate flour mixture (do not overmix). Dividing evenly, spoon batter into muffin cups.
3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Spread tops with honey-cinnamon frosting. Just before serving, peel and slice banana into rounds, and place one on each cupcake, if desired.

I made these for Lucy's first birthday, and they were a hit!  I halved the recipe to make just 6 cupcakes (brilliant... why haven't I thought of this before?), so our family could enjoy birthday cupcakes without having a million leftovers.  I was pleasantly surprised with how moist they were.  Also, with how incredibly EASY they were!  I would definitely make these again.
