    Easy banana pudding recipe in baking dish with a spoon lifting out a portion. Pin title text overlay at top.

    This easy banana pudding recipe is just what you need for using up ripe bananas. It's a delicious and comforting dessert made in under an hour!

    Easy banana pudding recipe cooked in large dish with a spoon raised and showing a piece taken out.

    Folks, if you're looking for a simple but delicious pudding recipe to use up those ripe or surplus bananas then I've got you covered with this easy banana pudding recipe.

    Unlike a traditional banana pudding cake recipe which features layers of custard and fresh bananas between vanilla wafers topped with whipped heavy cream, this doesn't involve half as much effort. Or as many calories!

    This is an easy recipe. For this classic banana pudding all you'll need is a handful of ingredients, 10 minutes prep, and then you can let it cook away in the oven for 40 minutes whilst you get on with other things!

    When I was a kid I loved this comforting easy banana cake recipe. And even now as a full grown adult it's a favourite instant pudding!

    What does it taste like? Well it's a bit like warmed up banana bread but in cake form and it's excellent just served that way with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, a little sour cream or creme fraiche.

    I've made so many recipes with bananas. If it's an even healthier banana dessert that you're looking for then check out my healthy banana pudding.

    Or see the list of more banana recipes you might like to try below!

    Easy banana pudding served in a bowl with a dollup of ice cream. Serving spoon in front. Rest of dish of pudding in the background with bananas in between.

    I hope you enjoy this delicious dessert and who knows it may even become one of your favourites.

    I find this my best recipe which can be easily whipped up for those impromptu family gatherings!

    Substitutions

    • Bananas - essential
    • Vegetable Oil - any kind of vegetable oil is fine. Don't use olive oil as it will make the banana taste funny.
    • Vanilla Extract - vanilla paste or vanilla essence are also fine.
    • Cinnamon Powder - you could substitute with a pinch of nutmeg or allspice.
    • Caster Sugar - you could use granulated sugar.
    • Egg - I use a free range medium sized egg. Any good quality eggs will do.
    • Plain Flour - essential

    FAQ'S

    How To Store Banana Pudding?

    You can store it in an airtight container but it should be eaten within 1 - 2 days. Do not put in the fridge as it loses its flavour quickly and the cooked bananas can go black.

    Can Banana Pudding Be Frozen?

    I do not recommend freezing this banana pudding.

    How Many Calories In Banana Pudding?

    There are 216 calories in banana pudding.

    Can I Make Banana Pudding Gluten Free?

    Yes. Just substitute the plain flour with Gluten Free flour instead.

        My other half is the main banana eater in this house. I buy a big bunch on my weekly shop and if there's any leftover this is exactly what I'll do with them! Hope you get a chance to make it Mimi! 🙂

      I always forget that pudding in the UK is different than pudding in the US! This does sound delicious as I'm a huge fan of banana bread. I'm thinking this is the perfect kind of comfort food for any time of the year. And it's a great way to use up bananas that you forgot to eat in time - haha!
