Eggless Whole wheat Banana muffins along a giveaway contest

This is my 100th post!!! First of all I want to thank all of you to make this blog to reach a small milestone. Special thanks to my family and friends without your support I couldn't do this.

I thought to share my happiness by conducting small giveaway contest to all my lovely viewers. Though I was in a mood of conducting this contest,I am in great dilemma to decide what to give as prize. Now I came to a conclusion to give Measuring cups and spoons set because this helps many beginners and almost all recipes you're surfing in internet,authors will mention measurements in cups and spoons. Also its useful for baking.

Why I thought to give Measuring cups and spoons as prize? Its because when I was beginner I don't have measuring cups and spoons I used to cook with guessing,sometimes it was hit and many times flops. Then I bought Measuring cups and spoons after that almost everything came out well. So everyone should have this to be a great chef.

Coming to today's recipe,healthy whole-wheat banana cupcakes with dry fruits. My daughter loved it a lot. I added organic jaggery powder as sweetener and replaced all purpose flour with whole-wheat flour so cupcakes turned dark brown though texture and taste was really awesome.
