Hummingbird Cake Recipe

This is the recipe for the cake-muffins that I made for Caleb's birthday.  It's quite easy to make, and so tasty. I've also included photos of the process.

Bananas, pineapple, sea salt, baking soda, cinnamon, coconut oil, honey, walnuts, vanilla, eggs, and whole wheat flour - the ingredients for Hummingbird Cake.

Frosting:

16 ounce cream cheese, room temperature

2/3 cups honey
