Banana Cupcakes with Cinnamon Honey Butter Cream Frosting!

Bananas are pretty much a miracle fruit, when it comes to baking. You put a banana into anything that is baked and its instantly moist for days! THIS is why I LOVE banana bread, banana cookies, and now... banana cupcakes.
These cupcakes aren't heavy like banana bread. They are light, fluffy and ultra moist. The honey and cinnamon in the frosting add a nice zip!
