1medium banana
2eggs
1teaspoonvanilla

Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour the mini-bundt pan.*
Cream together the butter sugar and salt.
Mash banana well and beat with eggs, add to butter mixture along with the vanilla and milk. Beat well.
Stir the baking powder and cinnamon into the flour, to ensure even distribution, then add the the mixing bowl.
Beat until the mixture is creamy in consistency. It will be a little thicker than standard cake batter, but smooth & silky.
Dollop into the mini bundt pans. Fill ¾ full and smooth tops with back of a spoon.
Bake for 20-24 minutes. Toothpick will pull out clean and tops will be light golden brown. (Mine were just right at 22 minutes.)
Glaze
Add the ingredients to a small non-stick skillet over med-high heat. (Crumbing the brown sugar helps it dissolve quickly.)
Keep stirring, the sugar will melt quick. The glaze will start to bubble up. Remove from burner once it has thickened a little, but still seems a little thin to use (it will thicken as it cools).
Allow it to cool a couple minutes before glazing the banana cakes. It should be thick enough to slowly roll down sides of cake, but not stiff. (if it hardens you over cooked to candy stage, start over).
Notes
*If you don't have a mini bundt pan standard size cupcake or muffin tins will do (baking time may need to be adjusted a little) * Time quoted does not include making glaze, which should only take a couple minutes.
