healthy banana pudding

This recipe for A Bit Healthier Homemade Banana Pudding takes that classic, cooked southern banana pudding and lightens it up just a bit.

A Bit Healthier Banana Pudding

sugar

cornstarch

tsp salt

low-fat (2%) milk

eggs

tsp vanilla extract

ripe, medium bananas (thinly sliced)

vanilla wafers

(1/2 tub) light whipped topping (optional)

In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk. Turn heat on to medium-high. Which mixture continuously until it begins to bubble. Remove saucepan from heat.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour about 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture into the eggs. Whisk vigorously. This is called "tempering" the eggs. It's basically slowly brining the eggs up to a warmer temperature without them scrambling.

Pour egg mixture into milk mixture. Place saucepan back onto medium-high heat and whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Seriously, whisk constantly. It may seem tedious but this mixture can quickly turn glumpy if you don't whisk the entire time!

Transfer mixture out of the saucepan into a bowl and whisk in vanilla.

Spread thin layer of the pudding into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish (or an 8x8 square baking dish). Arrange half of the vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Then layer half of the banana slices over the vanilla wafers.

Layer half of the remaining pudding on top of the bananas. Then layer the remaining vanilla wafers on top. Followed by the remaining banana slices. Top with the rest of the pudding.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and gently press down on the plastic wrap so that it is touching the pudding. This will keep a "skin" from forming on top of the pudding. Pop it into the refrigerator to cool for at least 3 hours.

Then uncover and spread whipped topping on top. Then serve!

I’ve been keto for 3 years and I’ve always shied away from making the desserts except the occasional mug cake. Recently my husband FINALLY decided to join me in keto but he’s been begging me to find “healthy dessert. So… here I am. He loves banana pudding so I figured this was a good place to start. I of course tasted it as I was mixing and wow is it good! I made a double batch since there are two of us and it came out a perfect texture. He was eating spoonful after spoonful so I knew he was happy. He  finally said “it tastes REALLY good but weird” but once I told him it was yogurt and not milk he said it tasted better now that he knew why it was “weird”. Haha he’s one of those tough construction men who lived on gas station burritos, Cold undiluted Campbell’s soup, and jerky.  I’m not sure he’s had yogurt in 20 years!  So wins all around and the pudding was delicious!

Solid four on this. What I made tasted more like a high-protein banana yogurt parfait than banana pudding, and once I adjusted for that I stopped minding. The base holds, the flavor is there, and 20g protein in something I actually want to eat at night is the whole point. One note on the wafers: I went too fine on the first try and lost the texture entirely. Pieces not crumbs, some real-sized, makes a difference. Also don't skip the whipped cream. It does more work than you'd think.

My yogurt ran thin so the base didn't set like the video. Depends on the brand. First keto dessert attempt, expected the banana to taste fake. It didn't. 20g protein in a two-minute dessert. Had to double-check that.

Four jars in the fridge every Sunday, 20g protein in under two minutes every night this week (the math works out embarrassingly well). Figured out that a full teaspoon of pudding mix per serving gives it a way thicker set than a heaping half does, so now I use a little whisk instead of a spoon and let it sit five minutes before portioning. Wafers go in a separate baggie every time because by day two they're just soft and the crunch is basically the whole argument for this over regular yogurt.

7.5 net carbs for banana pudding made me look twice, then I just made it. First time using Greek yogurt as the whole base. The pudding mix turns it genuinely thick and dessert-y. Blew my mind a little. Does it have to be Jello or does any sugar-free banana mix work?

Such a simple, delightful recipe! I’ve been on a fitness journey for the last two years and I am still finding ways to make healthier swaps… banana pudding was one of those deserts I could NOT give up or wait for a ‘cheat day’ to have. This by far has been my favorite recipe to implement, 3 ingredients only and does not make me miss the real thing… many thanks Annie for sharing this delight.

Was braced for this to taste like medicine since banana-flavored anything usually goes artificial fast. The pudding mix actually blends in and disappears instead of taking over. 20g protein for what's basically dessert still gets me every time, even if the portion leaves me eyeing the container.

Love the protein hit and this takes maybe 90 seconds on a hot day. One thing: eat it immediately or the wafers turn to mush. Still making it constantly, just crush and sprinkle right before eating.

My son ate his and immediately put in a request for banana pudding every single night this week (not just more, every night on repeat). Three ingredients and now there are standing orders.
