Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (3.4 oz) banana pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed
- 12 extra vanilla wafers, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the banana pudding by whisking the pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Allow it to set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a small spoon or knife to remove a small circle from the top center of each cupcake.
Fill the hole in each cupcake with a spoonful of banana pudding.
Top each cupcake with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
Sprinkle the crushed vanilla wafers over the whipped cream.
Garnish each cupcake with a whole vanilla wafer.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
