Cupcakes are one of our favorite treats to serve at any event we host. We especially love when we can add a few ingredients to a store-bought mix to bring a bit of our theme to the sweets. That’s exactly what we did for these Peanut Butter Banana Cupcakes served at our recent Elephant Themed Baby Shower!
- 1 Box White Cake Mix
- 3 Bananas
- 1/3 c. Canola Oil
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 c. Sour Cream
- 2 1/2 t. Vanilla Extract
- 1 Can White Frosting
- 6 Nutter Butter® Cookies
- 12 Pink Heart Marshmallows
In a large bowl, mix the boxed cake mix, mashed bananas, oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla extract until a nice batter is made.
Place cupcake liners into the cupcake pan and then fill each liner 3/4 full with batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Once the cupcakes have cooled, ice them with your white frosting.
Next, cut or break a Nutter Butter® cookie in half and place on an angle on the top/side of the iced cupcake.
Take a toothpick and push it into the heart marshmallow on an angle and then push it into the cupcake. This will hold the marshmallow at the perfect angle. Just make sure to let your guests know they need to remove the toothpick before eating!
Your delicious Peanut Butter Banana Cupcakes are ready to serve!
Everyone just loved the banana flavor of these cupcakes and the addition of the Nutter Butter® cookie. We loved incorporating a “peanut” themed treat to go with our elephant themed shower!
