Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.

2. In a large bowl, use a fork to finely mash bananas. Add yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

3. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-18 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

4. Let cool.

5. Whipped Cream: Use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a hand whisk to whip heavy whipping cream and pudding mix until stiff. (You're just adding enough pudding mix to help stabilize it so the whipped cream doesn't start to melt later.)

6. Quick Banana Mousse: Repeat step 5 and add in food coloring if wanted. This will be more thick than the whipped cream above.

7. Pipe a rim of whipping cream around the top of each cooled cupcake and then fill the center with a spoonful of quick banana mousse! Top with a banana slice!
