banana split cupcakes

Although these banana split cupcakes don’t actually have ice cream in them, they are awfully cute and still have the same flavors and ingredients we know and love from traditional banana splits! Banana cake topped with frosting and all of the ice cream sundae fixings, it’s like heaven in cupcake form.

I really like these cupcakes because not only do they taste great, but they are also really easy to make and put together. We’re just taking a store bought white cake mix and adding mashed bananas to it. For fluffier cupcakes, try adding a bit of baking powder and baking soda to the batter as well!

Once the cupcakes are baked and cooled, we’re ready to assemble them. Top with a scoop of frosting to make it look like an ice cream scoop. Then drizzle with hot fudge sauce. Make it rain down sprinkles and finish it off with a cherry on top!

You can store the cupcakes in the fridge until ready to eat! If you want to take these over the edge and really want to incorporate ice cream into it, you can omit the frosting and just top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Although, those will need to be eaten right away, which shouldn’t be a problem. Enjoy!
