Recipe: Banana Pudding Cupcakes
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 18-20 minutes
Yield: 24 servings
Serving size: 1 cupcake
Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup water
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
3 eggs
1 (3.5-ounce) packet banana instant pudding
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 (10-ounce) container fat-free whipped topping
24 reduced-fat mini vanilla wafers
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° F and line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
With an electric mixer (or the whisk attachment on a stand mixer), on low speed beat together the cake mix, water, applesauce, eggs, and half the box of banana pudding for 2 minutes, or until smooth and incorporated.
Fill each liner about ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, then allow to cool.
While cooling, make the frosting: In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or a handheld mixer), blend together the remaining banana pudding mix with the almond milk. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
Next, fold the whipped topping into the prepared pudding mixture until incorporated.
Place the frosting in a gallon-size resealable bag and cut off a corner. Evenly pipe the frosting onto each cupcake, then garnish each cupcake with 1 mini vanilla wafer.
