What better way to celebrate our nation’s presidents than with festive red, white and blue banana cupcakes? They are easy to make and a delicious way to suck up to your professors before midterms.
Here is what you will need:
1 box Betty Crocker Cake mix (white will give you the brightest color, yellow is what Walgreens has)
Red and blue food coloring (I used Betty Crocker Classic Gel Food Color)
2 bananas
1/3 cup Vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups water
Baking cups
3 mixing bowls
Cupcake trays (most baking supplies can be rented from the RA’s in your building)
Here are your instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 (degrees)
2. Mix together the water, oil and cake mix.
3. Mash up 1 cup of bananas (usually about 2 bananas) and add to mix
4. Separate out the mix into three bowls.
5. Add LOTS of food coloring to two of the three bowls and mix in.
6. Line cupcake tray
7. Layer red, white and blue batter
8. Bake for about 25 minutes
9. Let cool for 30 minutes
10. Frost
11. Enjoy!!
