Mini Banana Cupcakes

I decided to use Green's Banana Mini Cupcakes packet mixture, to make these cupcakes you need:

Green's Banana Mini Cupcakes Mix

Cupcakes

• 1 egg
• 3 table spoons (60ml) water
• 1 table spoon (20g) butter

Icing 

• 1-3 teaspoons (15ml) water
• 1 teaspoon (5g) butter 

The first step to making these, is to preheat the oven to approximately 180c. You are provided with around 12-14 mini patty cases, you place them into a normal sized cupcake tray and set aside.

Place the mini cupcake mix, 1 egg, 60ml of water and 20g of butter into a mixing bowl. I used an electric mixer to combine the ingredients however, the packet mentions just to used a wooden spoon but I feel an electric mixer is faster and more efficient. Mix until the batter becomes a smooth texture.

Divide the batter evenly between the 12 patty cases and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. When they are cooked, the cupcakes should spring back when pressed lightly or when a skewer is inserted into the centre and comes out clean. After they are baked set them aside on a wire rack to cool.

To make the icing, empty the icing mixture into a mixing bowl along with, 1 teaspoon of water and 1 teaspoon of butter. Mix the ingredients with a spoon, if the icing is a bit dry add another 1-2 teaspoons of water and continue to mix. Once the icing becomes a a bright yellow paste, spread it evenly on top of each cooled mini cupcake.

These cupcakes came out very well, they are easy to make and unlike most packet cupcakes they did not come out dry.
