INGREDIENTS
•
Cupcake Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon cinnamon
•
3 eggs
•
1/4 cup golden syrup (honey will also work)
•
2 tablespoons walnut oil (any nut or vegetable oil will work)
•
1 cup smashed ripe bananas, about two bananas (if you don't have ripe bananas, microwave newer bananas for a minute or so to bring out their sweetness)
•
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained (a can of pineapple works for this, or use chopped fresh pineapple, food process it, and strain out the excess liquid)
•
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
•

•
4 tablespoons brown sugar
•
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
