Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix (approximately 18.3 oz)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix

Add-ins

  • 1 cup vanilla wafer cookies, roughly crushed
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the batter is smooth and well blended.
  2. Incorporate the banana pudding mix: Add the instant banana pudding mix directly into the brownie batter. Mix thoroughly to ensure the pudding mix is evenly distributed throughout the batter, adding a creamy texture and banana flavor.
  3. Fold in wafers and bananas: Gently fold in the roughly crushed vanilla wafers and banana slices into the pudding-infused brownie batter. This layering adds a delightful crunch and bursts of fresh banana throughout the brownies.
  4. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring fudgy brownies.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve to enjoy the creamy, chocolatey, banana-infused treat.

Notes

  • For added texture, lightly crush the vanilla wafers instead of finely grinding them.
  • Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent excessive moisture in the batter.
  • These brownies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat slightly before serving if preferred warm.
  • You can substitute homemade brownie batter if desired, but adjust sugar levels accordingly since pudding mix adds sweetness.
