Overall I thought that these banana cupcakes were just alright. They were easy to make, and have a delightful moist texture and the banana and vanilla flavors are nice. But I kept thinking of ways to make it better-add walnuts, cinnamon, banana flavor in the frosting as well as the cake, add a splash of whiskey, use cream cheese frosting instead of the vanilla cream. There are a lot of options for customization. Not sure of I would make them again but if you love banana they’re worth a try!
Oh, walnuts would have been good. I definitely wouldn’t use the pastry cream as ‘frosting’ again. Pudding is not frosting.
Ha, I agree! I had a bunch leftover so I gave my husband a bowl of pudding and his response was “Wait, so you basically had to make two desserts to make those cupcakes?”
These sound like not quite banana bread muffins! I’d for sure miss nuts and spices in it!
Yeah! Honestly making regular banana bread probably would have been better 🙂
