Ingredients
- Half of an 18.25-oz. box (about 1 3/4 cups) moist-style yellow cake mix
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
- 2 tbsp. low-sugar or sugar-free strawberry jam
- 6 maraschino cherries, halved
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups and/or spray with nonstick spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, baking powder, and 1 cup water. Mix thoroughly. Add banana and stir well. Gently fold in 3 tbsp. chocolate chips.
3. Evenly distribute mixture among the cups of the baking pan. Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
4. Allow cupcakes to completely cool. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine Cool Whip with preserves and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
5. Once cupcakes have cooled, evenly spread Cool Whip mixture over the cupcakes. Top each cupcake with 1/4 tsp. chocolate chips and a cherry half.
