These Banana Pudding Brownies are a delightful twist on traditional brownies, combining the creamy sweetness of banana pudding with the moist texture of cake-like brownies and a crunchy vanilla wafer topping. Perfect for banana lovers and dessert enthusiasts looking for a unique treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Banana Pudding Mixture

  • 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant banana pudding
  • 2 cups milk

Batter

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 2 medium bananas, thinly sliced

Topping

  • 2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until the pudding dissolves completely and the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Stir in the yellow cake mix to the pudding mixture until all ingredients are well combined and no lumps remain, creating a thick batter.
  4. Fold in Bananas: Gently fold the thinly sliced bananas into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them up too much.
  5. Assemble: Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle the roughly chopped vanilla wafer cookies evenly over the top to create a crunchy topping.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving. This helps the brownies set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Ensure the batter is spread evenly for uniform baking.
  • Cool completely before cutting to avoid crumbling.
  • You can substitute vanilla wafers with crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies for variety.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For extra moisture, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
