These Banana Pudding Cupcakes are to die for!! And they are only 3 points each for blue, green and purple!
I recently posted a Banana Bread recipe. In it I talked about how my kids love banana bread, but my older daughter doesn’t even like bananas.
Well guess what? She also loves banana pudding. She just picks around the bananas. 🙂
I’ve been buying a lot of bananas lately. It’s one of the fruits the store by me actually has every time.
That got me thinking about what else I could make with bananas? Cupcakes!!
To keep this recipe low in points I used the Pillsbury sugar free classic yellow cake mix.
Instead of using eggs or oil I used Sprite Zero. That’s right, just the cake mix and Sprite Zero. I don’t know why it works, but it does!
You could also use Diet 7Up or any diet lemon lime soda.
I bought reduced-fat Nilla Wafers and put one in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Then I filled the cupcakes with batter like I normally would.
I also bought sugar free banana pudding. This is what I used as the frosting. I spread some right over the cupcake then topped it with fat-free Reddi Wip and a slice of banana.
This is probably my favorite cupcake ever!! It’s that good.
Now this does make 24 cupcakes, which is quite a bit. If you aren’t going to serve them all at once I would recommend waiting to add the pudding and Reddi Wip.
