BANANA CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Adapted from Cooking Light (Sept. 1999). Original recipe uses plain fat-free yogurt, but I prefer powdered buttermilk, reconstituted. This allegedly yields 12 standard-sized cupcakes, but I like to make 24 mini ones for parties. Nutmeg adds that special something.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cupcakes will be.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cupcakes light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder gently: Overmixing the batter will make your cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full: This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes: This will give you more control over the frosting.
