Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Line a 12-count cupcake tin with cupcake papers.
2. Using a hand mixer or whisk, combine mashed banana, sugar, milk, olive oil and vanilla - blend until fluffy.
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Fold into wet batter just to combine. Do not over mix. Pour batter into 12 cupcakes.
4. Bake 18 minutes until the tops are set. Let cool completely.

Top with another layer of cake and 2 scoops ice cream. Finally, top with toasted pecans and extra chocolate syrup. Do the same with 12 total medium-sized Sundaes. Freeze until ready to serve.
