Ingredients

  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup mashed ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup instant banana pudding mix
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

For topping

  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons instant banana pudding mix
  • 2 tablespoons crushed nilla wafers

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and light brown sugar until combined and smooth. 
  • Add the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, banana pudding mix, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined– you don’t want to overmix! 
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out into an even layer.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan.
  • Once cool, remove them from the pan using the parchment and slice them into your desired-size brownies.

For the topping:

  • Add the cold heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium speed until it is thick and foamy– about 1 minute. 
  • Next, add the instant pudding mix and beat until it forms stiff peaks– another 1-2 minutes. 
  • Spread or pipe the whipped cream onto the blondies and sprinkle over the crushed nilla wafers.
  • Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Make sure to use instant (not cook-and-serve) pudding mix.
