Ingredients:

Serving

4 slices unsmoked organic back bacon
150 g ripe fairtrade bananas (approx 2 small)
60 g fairtrade honey
100 g unsalted organic butter (at room temperature )
40 g tate & lyle fairtrade caster sugar
140 g organic plain flour (sifted)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 large free-range organic eggs (at room temperature )
handful fairtrade brazil nut (toasted & chopped)
1/2 tsp grated fairtrade nutmeg
1/2 tsp fairtrade ground cinnamon
12 paper, cupcake cases
55 g unsalted organic butter (at room temperature )
325 g tate & lyle fairtrade icing sugar
114 ml organic double cream
2 tbsp fairtrade honey

Directions:

Lay rashers of bacon on a foil lined sheet and place in a cold oven with the temperature set to 200c for approx 20 mins or until crispy. Allow to cool.
Turn heat down to 180c.
Mash bananas with honey in a small bowl and set aside.
Sift together all the dry ingredients into a large bowl - flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
Cut butter into small chunks and add to the dry ingredients, blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until evenly incorporated.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Mix in the banana/honey mixture, spices and Brazil nuts to taste.
Spoon into cupcakes cases, filling almost to the top .
Bake in preheated oven for 15 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Remove and leave to cool in the pans for approx 3 mins - then transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
Frosting.
Beat the butter until smooth, then add half of the sugar, the double cream.
And the honey.
Continue beating, slowly adding the rest of the sugar to achieve a smooth, even texture.
Ice each cooled cupcake with a thick swirl of frosting and top with strips of cooled bacon and chopped Brazil nuts.
