Preparation Steps
- Brown the butter by melting in a medium saucepan over medium heat until golden amber and nutty aroma develops, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Combine with brown sugar and granulated sugar until thick.
- Incorporate cooled brown butter into the banana mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Add Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla, whisk until creamy and well-blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fill cupcake liners ⅔ full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare pudding filling by whisking instant pudding mix with milk until smooth and refrigerate to set.
- For buttercream, beat softened butter until fluffy, gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream until light and pipeable.
- Cool cupcakes completely, fill with pudding using a cupcake corer.
- Frost with buttercream and sprinkle crushed Nilla wafers and optional sliced bananas on top.
