INSTRUCTIONS
To make the brownies:
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar and melted butter. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix together until a dough forms.
-
Place the dough into the baking dish and spread it evenly to all corners.
-
Set the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
How to Make Banana Topping
-
Meanwhile, blend together the cream cheese and the pudding mix. Then slowly add the eggs and milk. You’ll want to blend it for 3-5 minutes to get it nice and thick.
-
After baking the brownies for 25 minutes, remove the brownies and pour the pudding mixture on top, spreading to an even layer and then add the Vanilla Wafers on top.
-
Place the baking dish back into the oven and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the brownies completely cool before serving.
-
NOTE: The brownies may be a bit soft in the middle when they first come out. After the brownies have cooled, they should “firm up” a bit, so make sure the brownies are completely cooled before serving.

NOTES
Storage:Have leftover brownies? We prefer placing them in the refrigerator so they’ll last longer. (But they don’t really last long around our house anyway.) You can eat them cold or you can warm them slightly in the microwave the next time you’re ready to enjoy them! Best to be enjoyed within 4-5 days.
