When I found this recipe I started drooling. I love love love caramel in any way, shape or form it comes. I am also a fan of Bananas so this seemed like a perfect pairing!
The whole recipe is pretty easy.
You can start with your go to vanilla cupcake recipe and add in a package of banana cream pudding mix. This should make your batter a nice yellow color.
Once you scoop your batter into your muffin pans place a soft chewy caramel square in the center of each cupcake. The cupcake will bake up around the caramel piece.
As usual once they are cooled you can frost them!
I think there are a couple of options for the cupcake. You could make a banana buttercream or a caramel buttercream. For this occasion I chose the caramel.
Once the were frosted I melted a few of those chewy caramels and drizzled them over the top of the cupcakes!
The reviews I got for these were great! They were even requested as part of my Easter orders!
Enjoy!
