    Why You’ll Love These Banana Pudding Brownies

    If you love old-fashioned desserts like banana cream pie or just the classic banana pudding flavor in almost anything, then you will absolutely love these! Some may even say they should be called banana pudding blondies but we like to call them whatever rolls off the tongue! So feel free to call them what you like!

    We’ve had so much fun experimenting with bananas around here lately, especially with this banana bread pudding, this banana pudding dip, and these peanut butter banana brownies, and not to mention the best banana bread that has been shared thousands of times on Facebook!

    Ingredients

    You know the best thing about this recipe? It uses only a few, simple ingredients and you probably even have most of them on hand already! We love easy around here, as you can tell from some of our other brownie recipes that are made with cake mixes like these red velvet brownies.

    ingredients on table for banana pudding brownies
    Ingredients

    For the Brownies:

    • 2 ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
    • 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 3 eggs
    • 2 ⅔ cups all purpose flour
    • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt

    For the Filling:

    • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
    • 3.4-ounce box banana instant pudding mix (or you can use instant vanilla pudding mix and extract in a banana flavor)
    • 2 eggs
    • ⅓ cup whole or 2% milk
    • Vanilla wafers for topping (15 or so, or more if you prefer!)

    Substitutions

    To keep things easy, you can use a banana pudding mix for this recipe but if you have trouble finding it, you can also use vanilla pudding mix, and use 2 tablespoons of banana extract or flavoring! Mix the flavoring in with the pudding mix.

    Variations

    • Although I know you’ll love these delicious banana pudding brownies, have fun experimenting and try different flavors of pudding mixes, to come up with new brownie recipes!
    • Also feel free to slice bananas and put those on top – but do know that they can turn brown quickly so you may want to be cautious of that.
    • For fudgy brownies, more like traditional brownies, you may want to consider adding a little cocoa powder as well, to the brownie mix. Please note that I have not tried this yet so I’m not sure how much to advise you on trying, so you may want to experiment!
    • Love Cool Whip? Try a dollop of whipped cream on top of the brownie when serving for some added goodness!
    • Get wild and crumble up some of your favorite cookies, like Oreo Cookies or even ice cream toppings for more pizzazz!

    How to Make Banana Pudding Brownies

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. (Or if you prefer using parchment paper to bake, that’s ok too!) Set aside.
    Steps 1-4 for banana pudding brownies.
    1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the brown sugar and melted butter. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. (You can use a hand mixer or an electric mixer but a spoon should work just as well.)
    2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    3. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix together until a dough forms.
    4. Place the dough into the baking dish and spread it evenly to all corners. Set the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
    Steps 5-8 of banana pudding brownies.
    1. Meanwhile, blend together the cream cheese and the pudding mix. Then slowly add the eggs and milk. You’ll want to blend it for 3-5 minutes to get it nice and thick. 
    2. After 25 minutes, remove the brownies and pour the pudding mixture on top of the brownie, spreading it in to an even layer.
    3. Add Vanilla Wafers on top of the pudding layer. (We used about 15 but feel free to use more!)
    4. Place the baking dish back into the oven and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes.
    5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the brownies completely cool before serving.

    Top Tip

    The brownies may be a bit soft in the middle when they first come out. After the brownies have cooled, they should “firm up” a bit, so make sure the brownies are completely cooled before serving. You can place the pan on a wire rack to help cool things off faster, as well!

    I have a feeling this ultimate banana pudding brownie recipe, may just become a new delicious dessert recipe to take to any get-together or to enjoy when a sweet tooth strikes, even as much as this banana pudding poke cake recipe.

    Storage

    Have leftover brownies? Rather than room temperature, we prefer placing them in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, or cover with plastic wrap, so they’ll last longer. (But they don’t really last long around our house anyway.)

    You can eat them cold or you can warm them slightly in the microwave the next time you’re ready to enjoy them! Best to be enjoyed within 4-5 days.

      I made this almost completely KETO, and my guest loved it. They didn’t even know it was KETO.
