Banana and dulce de leche cupcakes
(2)
40 min
These are super soft banana cupcakes, topped with a creamy dulce de leche sauce. Look for dulce de leche or confiture de lait in jars at large supermarkets and specialty shops. Bonne Maman makes a popular confiture de lait. In a pinch, top with toffee sauce.
