Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, stevia or erythritol, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, 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 baking, prepare the banana pudding by mixing the sugar-free banana pudding mix with 2 cups of low-fat milk. Whisk until thickened as per package instructions and set aside in the refrigerator.
Once the cupcakes are done, remove from oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Using a small knife or cupcake corer, gently remove a piece from the center of each cupcake, about 1 inch deep.
Fill each cupcake with the prepared banana pudding, using a spoon or piping bag.
Top each cupcake with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
Serve immediately or chill for a chilled dessert, and enjoy your sugar-free banana pudding cupcakes!
