    Why you’ll love these

    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 and these peanut butter banana brownies, and not to mention the 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!

    You can find the full recipe card below, that lists ingredients and instructions all in one place!

    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
    • 1 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!)

    Instructions

    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.
    2. 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.)
    3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    2. After 25 minutes, remove the brownies and pour the pudding mixture on top of the brownie, spreading it in to an even layer.

    2. Place the baking dish back into the oven and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes.
    3. 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!

    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!

    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.
