Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.
In another bowl, whisk the banana pudding mix with cold milk until thickened.
Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until smooth.
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
Sprinkle the crushed vanilla wafers and white chocolate chips over the top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add sliced bananas between the brownie and pudding layers for extra banana flavor.

Chocolate chips can be used instead of white chocolate chips for a richer chocolate taste.

For extra crunch, sprinkle additional crushed vanilla wafers on top right before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Let slices sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if a softer brownie texture is desired.
