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

• 1 package (3.4 oz) banana pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 cup whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on medium speed until just combined, making sure not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a small spoon or knife to remove a small circle from the top center of each cupcake.

Step 10

Fill the hole in each cupcake with a spoonful of banana pudding.

Top each cupcake with a generous swirl of whipped cream.

Step 12
