Bananas Foster Cupcakes with a moist banana-flavored cupcake, a rich buttercream frosting, and a praline sauce drizzled on top are a delicious cupcake version of the classic New Orleans dessert. With mashed banana in the cupcake batter and frosting and banana slices in the praline sauce, this is a triple threat banana cupcake.

Doctored Cake Mix Recipe

I don’t know about you, but I constantly have browning bananas. I mean CONSTANTLY. You would think that bananas are my number one thing to buy at the grocery store. My favorite breakfast used to be a sliced banana, smeared with a little peanut butter, a dollop of Weight Watchers Amaretto Cheesecake Yogurt, and a sprinkling of Grape Nuts cereal.

But then Weight Watchers stopped making Amaretto Cheesecake Yogurt. I tried to find a suitable substitute for it. The closest thing I could find was a Boston Cream Pie flavor. It was OK, but not the same. So instead of eating this breakfast nearly every day, I gradually ate it less and less frequently and now I can’t even remember the last time I ate it.
But I still buy bananas like I eat it every day. It’s a habit I guess. And I’m constantly having to come up with ways to use them.

Hence Bananas Foster Cupcakes. Maybe not as healthy as my old banana breakfast, but definitely delicious!

Recipe Tips

Use very ripe bananas. They should have black spots on them. Ripe bananas add sweetness and moisture to the cupcakes.
