Description
Banana Pudding Brownies: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In the same bowl, sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined and no dry ingredients remain.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: While the brownies are cooling, in a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Layer in Bananas: Once the pudding is thickened, gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined. Then, add the sliced bananas and mix carefully.
- Assemble the Dessert: Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the banana pudding mixture evenly over the brownie layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed vanilla wafers generously on top of the banana pudding layer for added crunch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the layers to set.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
