To make these banana pudding brownies, I started by dumping some brown sugar, granulated sugar and melted butter into a large mixing bowl.

I stirred the ingredients together until they were fully combined.

Then I added some vanilla extract and two eggs to the bowl.

I stirred well again.

I added some all purpose flour, cocoa powder and salt to the bowl.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were fully combined.

Then I added some semi-sweet chocolate chips to the bowl.

I stirred the chocolate chips into the brownie batter.

Then I lined a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and sprayed it with cooking spray.

I poured the brownie batter into the foil lined baking pan and spread it out evenly.

I placed the baking pan in the oven and baked the brownies until a toothpick inserted in the center came up mostly clean with just a few crumbs.

Then I set the brownies aside to cool while I prepared the pudding topping.

I dumped some vanilla instant pudding mix into a large mixing bowl.

Then I added some milk to the bowl.

I used an electric mixer to beat the pudding mix and milk together until the mixture became very thick.

Then I chopped up a banana.

I added the chopped banana to the bowl.

I continued mixing with the electric mixer until no large chunks of banana remained.

Then I added some Cool Whip to the bowl.

I used a rubber spatula to fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture.

Once the brownies were slightly warm but not too hot, I dumped the pudding mixture on top and spread it out evenly.

Then I thinly sliced a banana.

I placed the banana slices on top of the pudding mixture.

I placed some vanilla wafer cookies in a ziploc bag.

I used a small heavy bottomed pot to crush the cookies.

Then I sprinkled the cookie crumbs on top of the brownies.

I placed the brownie pan in the refrigerator and left the brownies to cool and set for three hours.

After three hours, I removed the pan from the refrigerator.

I used the aluminum foil to lift the brownies from the pan.

I sliced the brownies into 24 squares.

Then the banana brownies were ready to serve.

This chocolate and banana treat is impressive but easy to make.
