Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix and ingredients called for on the box
  • 1 banana mashed
  • 1 cup instant banana pudding
  • 8 oz container whipped topping
  • 30 Vanilla Wafer cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. Add the cake mix and ingredients called for on the back of the box to a large bowl with an electric mixer and beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Mash the banana with a fork, then add to the cake batter, and beat for 15 seconds.
  4. Fill 24 cupcake liners half way, then gently tap the pan on the counter to level the batter out.
  5. Transfer pan to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  6. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and allow to cool for 1 hour.
  7. Make the instant pudding mix and cool in the refrigerator while the cupcakes cool.
  8. Use the 1A frosting tip to carve out a hole in the middle of the cupcake. Then wash the tip for the next step.
  9. Add the frosting tip and pudding to a piping bag, and pipe banana cream pie filling into the center of the cupcakes.
  10. Frost the filled cupcakes with the whipped topping.
  11. Add 5 Nilla wafers to a baggie and crush them into crumbs.
  12. Sprinkle some crumbs over the frosting. Add vanilla wafers or fresh banana slices to the top of each cupcake for a beautiful and tasty finishing touch.
