These are a great gluten free, vegan cupcake, full of cinnamon and the banana helps to bind together the gluten free flour. The cinnamon sugar sprinkled in the middle makes for a nice sweet addition.
Do add the cinnamon sugar in the middle of the cupcake. It only takes a few minutes and it really does give them an extra burst of flavour. I’ve used edible glitter spray on them to make them glisten and glimmer for the holiday season!
