Here are two cake recipes that could be converted to cupcakes... you can probably even vary the flavoring.
I hope this helps! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif
LOOK NO SUGAR BANANA CAKE
1 c. mashed bananas (mash with a fork)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
2 lg. eggs
1/3 c. plain yogurt
1 1/2 c. unbleached white flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
Beat together mashed banana, oil, eggs and yogurt until creamy. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and beat well. Spoon into 2 round oiled and floured 9" cake pans. With a spatula smooth the batter evenly in pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Cool.
Top with whipped cream.
