Then, bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once done, allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Moving forward with making the bananas for the topping, begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and turn on the broiler (or your oven’s highest setting). Slice each banana into about 12 slices (the thicker slices worked better than thin ones). Sprinkle one side with granulated sugar and broil for two minutes or until golden brown. Finally, remove from the oven and cool completely. 

Lastly, make the whipped topping. All you have to do is that using a hand or stand mixer beat heavy whipping cream, flavoring (banana, rum, or both), and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar on high until stiff peaks form. Then, using a piping bag fill the cupcakes with the banana filling. Followed by adding the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with tip 1A or 1M.
