Banana Split Cupcakes are for celebrations and special times. We were having a dual Retirement/Birthday Party for two of our neighbors. Since I am the "Cupcake Lady of the neighborhood, I wanted to make really festive cupcakes. What else can be more festive than cupcakes with whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, walnuts, and chocolate syrup, topped with a cherry, just like the quintessential Banana Split. The only difference being, that all of these topping as are on top of a cupcake, instead of mounds of ice cream., and you eat the cupcake with a spoon. You could add ice cream, also and go a little crazy. You might need a bigger bowl. though.
The cupcake isn't just any old cupcake, but a cupcake made with strawberry yogurt, mashed strawberries, chocolate chips, bananas, and walnuts. I didn't add the walnuts to the cake batter, because one of my neighbors doesn't like nuts. I just sprinkled the nuts on top, per request. If you had a lot of people, you could set up a cupcake bar with the cupcakes and all of the toppings, and let your guest make their own Banana Split cupcakes. Wouldn't that be fun?
