Banana Cream Pudding Cupcakes

Here’s another dessert I took to the guys at the VFW, I love having so many taste testers! A few of them even said we should start selling them. These cupcakes are perfect made with those overripe bananas you might have. It seems I always buy to many so could make these weekly sometimes. The cupcakes are light and fluffy, I loved the texture of these. They aren’t heavy and dense like banana bread but still have lots of great banana flavor.

The filling is simple and easy, I made it ahead of time so it was ready when I was to assemble the cupcakes. They go together quickly after you remove some of the center of the cupcake for the filling to go into. A melon baller makes quick work of it but a tablespoon will also get the job done. I saved the centers in a small bowl and added my little bit of leftover filling to it and it was darn good!

After you fill the cupcakes add a little whipped topping or homemade whipped cream. Top with a slice of banana and a vanilla wafer.
