Description

These banana pecan cupcakes are a delightful treat, perfect for birthdays or any festive occasion. The moist banana and pineapple cake base is studded with coconut and pecans, creating a wonderful texture and flavor. Topped with a creamy maple cream cheese frosting and a crunchy praline, these cupcakes are simply irresistible. I've been making these for years, and they're always a hit!
