Ingredients

- 1 medium overripe banana, mashed (~¼ heaping cup or 75g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (102g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (52g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder

- 1 tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease half of a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray (this recipes makes 6 cups).Â
- Scoop 2 ½-3 tbsp dough into each muffin cup and lightly press dough down so it sits evenly in the bottom (do not press up the sides yet).Â
- Bake for 14-15 min until edges are set. The center should still look soft and slightly underbaked.Â
- Remove from oven and immediately use the bottom of a ¼ cup measuring cup to gently press into the center of each cookie to form a cup shape.Â
- Cool cookie cups for 10 minutes before carefully removing. Cool completely before filling.Â
- To make the filling: Beat together all ingredients using an electric hand mixer until smooth. Fill each cookie cup with filling. Top cookie cups with nilla wafer, banana slice, and shaved chocolate.Â
