Description

A delightful fusion of banana pudding and fudgy brownies, topped with gooey marshmallows and nuts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup banana pudding mix (dry; prepare according to package)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth with a few small chunks for texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring just until combined — do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts if using, reserving a few marshmallows to sprinkle on top.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Prepare the banana pudding according to package instructions and spoon small dollops over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the pudding into the batter.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

These brownies are best served warm or at room temperature. They pair well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
