Description

Banana pudding bites? Yes, please! Use your mini muffin pans and vanilla wafer crumbs to create these tasty little treats.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 pinch salt
1/2 (3 2/5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 sliced fresh banana

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set out 2 mini muffin pans that each make 12 tiny muffins.
2 Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt in a bowl. Stir with a fork until well blended.
3 Spoon 1 tablespoon crumb mixture into each mini muffin cup. Press mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until crusts have set, about 10 minutes. Cool muffin pans on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
5 Combine instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken, about 4 minutes. Spoon pudding evenly over the 24 mini muffin cups. Set a banana slice on top of each pudding bite and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 20 minutes.
