Description
Banana Pudding Brownies bring the best of both worlds together—decadent brownies and the creamy, nostalgic flavors of banana pudding. These moist, flavorful treats are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, with the option to add mini chocolate chips for an extra indulgent twist.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup banana pudding mix (instant)
1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and banana pudding mix.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- If using mini chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
Notes
For a chocolatey twist, add more mini chocolate chips or swirl some melted chocolate into the batter before baking.
For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
For a stronger banana flavor, increase the amount of mashed bananas to 3/4 cup or 1 cup.
To make these brownies gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend and check the pudding mix for gluten.
