Mini Banana Pudding Bites

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set out 2 mini muffin pans that each make 12 tiny muffins.

Step 2
Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt in a bowl. Stir with a fork until well blended.

Step 3
Spoon 1 tablespoon crumb mixture into each mini muffin cup. Press mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

Step 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.

Step 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.
