My boyfriend's birthday was the last week of September and I wanted to make him a cake. Well I ended up buying a mini cupcake pan and a new frosting bag with tips so I figured I would make him cupcakes instead. He sent me a recipe through my facebook for pumpkin cupcakes (which the recipe for that will come soon) that I know he wanted and looked awesome so I was going to make him those but keep it a surprise! Well his brother came into town and his family had a get together and his mom made the cupcakes! His sister saw them on my facebook and thought it was a good idea!! So now I had to find something else!! So this is what I came up with... banana cupcakes! Yummy!

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas

3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
chocolate for topping
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, bananas and buttermilk. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to banana mixture. Fill 18 paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
