Banana Fana Fo Fana

More About This Recipe

• Retro Recipe Redo is a new Quick Dish series that gives old recipe faves a mini makeover so they're easier and quicker for today's busy cooks.
  
  Creamy, dreamy and straight up bananaramic, Banana Fana Fo Fana is banana cream pie ala modern.
  
  It's a cinch almost to a sinful degree. See? (Click to view video.)
  
  With this outrageously easy version, why make banana cream pie the old-fashioned way evah again?
  
  The secret weapon is Nature Valley Granola Thins. Crunch 'em up and they make a great base for this banana dessert. (I used my mini food processor and got 'er done in seconds.)
  
  No butter, no mixing, no pressing into a pie pan. Crunch 'em up. That's it.
  
  Then slice up yer naners:
  
  And whip up some cream with a bit o' sugar. Nom:
  
  And the coup d'etat -- cooked vanilla pudding (from a box, of course), still warm and right outta the pan. Nom twice.
  
  As soon as that pudding's ready, get 4 plates and 4 mouths ready, then assemble the desserts in seconds flat. Ready?
  
  GO!
  
  Granola base

  There's nothing quite like this -- warm flowy sweet vanilla pudding draped over a layer of fresh banana slices and crunchy granola:
  
  Just do it!
