### How to Make Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes
1. **Bake the cupcakes:** Make a classic vanilla or banana-flavored cupcake base and bake until golden.
2. **Prepare the filling:** Mix banana pudding until thickened.
3. **Core and fill:** Once the cupcakes have cooled, remove the centers and fill with pudding.
4. **Top it off:** Pipe or spoon whipped cream on top and sprinkle with crushed wafers.
5. **Chill if you can:** These are even better after a little fridge time to let the flavors meld.

### Pro Tips for Success
* Use a cupcake corer or a paring knife to remove the center neatly.
* Don’t overfill the cupcakes — a heaping teaspoon of filling is just right.
* Keep them chilled until ready to serve to maintain the pudding’s texture.
* Garnish just before serving so bananas don’t brown.
