Banana Yogurt Cupcakes

This Banana Yogurt Cupcakes recipe is easy enough to make and doesn't require much effort or preparation time. Not only is it filled with Bananas, I also tend to add cherries or blueberries to give it for that fruity, tangy taste. Delicious and filled with good nutrients.

I've added it to the muffins page as well, as after all, cupcakes are somewhat like muffins.

Here's a picture of freshly made cupcakes that has not been dressed with icing yet.
