Banana Cream Pie Cookies – Crumbl Copycat

Banana cream pie cookies are sweet and creamy with a graham cracker crust inspired cookie base and an easy banana cream filling. Now you can make this Crumbl cookie copycat in the comfort of your own kitchen!

Once upon a time I decided to make a peach crisp cookie which was like a peach crisp and a peach cobbler all in one. Then I figured an apple crisp cookie had to come next. It was divine!

So naturally I had to dabble into the cream pie-inspired cookies, and the key lime pie cookie was born and the pumpkin pie cookie quickly followed. And with each new cookie, someone would tell me that Crumbl had the same cookie. Ha! Blast those Crumbl people!

So I guess you can call these Crumbl cookie copycat recipes, but these recipes have really just been my imagination running wild. What kind of cookie should I try to make next that Crumbl hasn’t already made?! Is there anything? I know they have a banana cream pie cookie already, but ours is better! 🤫

Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie Cookies

The ingredients for this banana cookie recipe is divided into two components. First, you have the banana cream pudding and then you have the cookie base. Here is what you will need for both parts:

Banana Cream Pie Filling

  • Bananas: You want them slightly ripe, bright yellow with just a few brown spots on the peels to add real banana flavor.
  • Whole Milk: Combines with the pudding powder to make the creamy filling.
  • Instant French Vanilla Pudding Mix: Make sure it is the instant pudding mix and NOT the cook and serve kind.
  • Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: adds more sweetness and creaminess
  • Cool Whip: You can use regular whipped cream but Cool Whip holds its thickness and structure better.

Cookie Base

  • Unsalted Butter: make sure it is softened but not melting at all
  • Cream Cheese: need to be softened so it will integrate into the cookie dough smoothly
  • Brown Sugar: adds rich flavor and sweetness
  • White Sugar: adds sweetness
  • Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
  • Eggs: adds structure to the cookie base
  • Almond Extract: totally optional, but I love the flavor it adds
  • Flour: just regular all-purpose flour
  • Cornstarch: adds chewiness to the cookies
  • Baking Powder and Baking Soda: adds fluffiness and rise to the cookies
  • Salt

Homemade BYU Graham Canyon Ice Cream Copycat (Graham Central Station Ice Cream) [+Video]

Graham Canyon ice cream is a creamy graham cracker flavored ice cream with ribbons of graham cracker swirl and chunks of chocolate covered honeycomb bits. It is the best ice cream you’ll ever have!

Graham Canyon ice cream copycat is probably the greatest recipe copycat I’ve ever made and it works with both homemade and store-bought ice cream, though I will now, just as always, use Tillamook since it’s so easy.

Cade is insanely ice cream obsessed and since discovering Graham Canyon from the BYU Creamery or as Handel’s calls it, Graham Central Station, it has quickly risen to one of his most favorite flavors. Literally the most delicious ice cream ever and I think I’ve made every neighbor and friend in Davis County try it.

I decided I had to finally figure out a copycat version for Cade’s birthday this year. We used to be able to find graham canyon in a couple of different spots up here in Davis County, but I haven’t been able to find it in months. Since BYU is a little too far away for an ice cream run, I brought the BYU creamery into my kitchen! Best birthday ever for Cade this year!

Ingredients for Graham Canyon Ice Cream

I’m going to give you two different options for making this ice cream recipe – one completely from scratch and one that simplifies things by using store-bought ice cream that you transform into graham cracker ice cream. You can choose what you have time for. Here is everything you’ll need…

For the Homemade Ice Cream

  • Heavy Cream: use heavy whipping cream for the creamiest texture
  • Half and Half: combines with the cream for a smooth and creamy ice cream
  • Sugar: adds sweetness
  • Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
  • Egg Yolks: adds richness and creaminess to the ice cream
  • Graham Crackers: crushed into a fine powder

OR

  • Tillamook French Vanilla Ice Cream: Tillamook has the best fat content and creaminess.

For the Graham Cracker Swirl

  • Graham Crackers: crushed into fine powder
  • Cinnamon: adds flavor
  • Water: helps the swirl be ribbony and delicious
  • Butter: adds rich flavor to the swirl and helps bind the swirl together
  • Honey: adds natural sweetness
  • Violet Crumble o

Homemade Box Brownies

Everybody loves brownies! Am I right?! These homemade box brownies are fudgy and chewy with that crackling on top that just screams brownie. I’ve been working on this recipe for a while and I’ve finally nailed it!

Brownies, ugh, the nightmare of homemade brownies! They are so tricky to get just right! Our oven is not cooking evenly which I can manage 90% of the time but brownies are really tricky. Add on top that I’m obsessed with a crinkle top and these brownies have taken years to develop! They are Cade’s favorite dessert next to or equal to ice cream so the need to find perfection was big! And these are perfection!

These brownies are easy and fudgy and made totally from scratch! I’m not going to lie, the Ghirardelli brownies boxed mix that you can buy at Costco are my go-to when I’m in a rush, but this homemade brownie recipe rivals those Ghirardelli box brownies! There’s just something about homemade that feels and tastes so much better!

Ingredients for Homemade Box Brownies

There are some ingredients that are an absolute must for the best brownies. For a crinkle top and best flavor you have to use cocoa powder and chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. You also must use oil and butter. Here is a complete list of everything you need:

  • Butter: use unsalted butter to control the salt in the brownies and you want it melted to get the right texture and the crackly shiny top on the brownies
  • Vegetable Oil: helps the brownies be moist and fudgy
  • Sugar: adds sweetness and balances the bitterness of the cocoa powder
  • Brown Sugar: adds more sweetness and richness in flavor
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: adds all the chocolate flavor
  • Eggs: adds structure to the brownies
  • Vanilla Extract: adds flavor
  • Espresso Powder: found in the baking section and is used to enhance the chocolate flavor. It can be skipped if you absolutely cannot find it or substitute with instant coffee.
  • Salt: enhances all the flavors
  • Flour: just regular all-purpose flour is all you need
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: adds texture and more chocolate flavor

The measurements for all these ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Box Brownies at Home

These fudgy brownies are made in just about 30 minutes and they taste even better than your favorite boxed brownies. Here are the steps for making them:

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9×9 baking pan with foil (or parchment paper) and then cooking spray.
  2. Stir: Combine the melted butter, oil, sugar, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until well combine and shiny.
  3. Whisk: In a small bowl, add the eggs and whisk until pale yellow. Add in the vanilla, espresso powder and salt. Add to chocolate mixtu

Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

All you need are 6 simple ingredients, including self rising flour to make this old fashioned blackberry cobbler recipe just like your grandma used to make. You’ll be feeling all the nostalgia with this simple dessert recipe that’s perfect for spring or summer.

Easy blackberry cobbler recipe – I think this is the same recipe every mom in America made us as kids. My mom’s recipe came from a heavy blue cookbook that I want to say may have been Better Homes and Gardens or Betty Crocker. Either way, do not skimp on the sugar and always serve warm with ice cream.

The real secret compared to other recipes is that I always butter the dish. The butter creates the most wonderfully delicious bottom on the cobbler. It’s so rich and comforting!

Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients

When I said you only need 6 ingredients to make this recipe for blackberry cobbler, I meant it! It’s so simple! Most of the ingredients are pantry staples too! Here is everything you’ll need:

  • Sugar: just regular white granulated sugar, some of the cobbler topping and some sprinkling on top
  • Self-Rising Flour: found on the same aisle as the all-purpose flour
  • Salt: enhances all the flavors
  • Whole Milk: helps binds the batter together, 2% milk works fine too
  • Butter: adds flavor and richness to the crust
  • Blackberries: can be fresh or frozen, more details below

The measurements required for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

What is Self-Rising Flour?

Self-rising flour is a flour that has a leavening agent already included in it, usually baking powder. It usually has a little salt added to it as well. It helps the baked good rise.

If you don’t have self-rising flour or you can’t find it, you can make your own! Just 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt for every 1 cup of flour in your recipe.

Can I Use Frozen Blackberries?

Both fresh and frozen blackberries work great in this recipe. Of course we love this in the summertime with those juicy, fresh blackberries, but sometimes you need blackberry cobbler when it’s not summertime, so frozen blackberries will work just fine.

No need to thaw them ahead of time. Just sprinkle them over the top frozen and they will thaw as it bakes. If you let them thaw beforehand, they will bleed into the cobbler batter and make it purple and they will be mushy and not the right texture.

One of my favorite things about cobbler recipes is that they are so

Spring Easter M&M Cookies [+Video]

Spring Easter M&M Cookies [+Video]

Deliciously thick, soft, and chewy spring Easter M&M Cookies! These cookies are the epitome of a perfect chocolate chip cookie: delightfully crunchy around the edges with a warm, soft center. Trust me, you absolutely must enjoy one while it’s warm!

I have seriously never worked so quickly to get a recipe out to you all, but the response on our Instagram for our M&M cookies was out of control, so I just had to put these Easter cookies into your hands!

I am almost always making and photographing recipes a year in advance. Therefore, these last few weeks, I’ve been developing, making, and photographing recipes for next spring and Easter. However, I just couldn’t resist showing you all the most perfect and awe-inspiring Easter M&M cookies that I had made last week. They were simply too glorious not to share…and you all agreed!

In fact, you agreed so much that I got bombarded with emails, DMs, comments, and all the things (which I LOVE). So, here they are—you don’t have to wait a whole year because I’m just that nice!

Endless Possibilities for Add-Ins

Even though Easter is over, this recipe works great with any add-ins you want. For instance, you can swap the Easter M&M’s for regular M&M’s or any holiday M&M’s. Since the 4th of July is just around the corner, can you imagine them with red, white, and blue? I can’t wait! Additionally, you could use Reese’s Pieces or pretty much anything else you desire. I’m going to write a whole section about add-ins below.

Furthermore, these cookies do not need to wait in the fridge, but I believe that they taste a little better if you let the dough rest. The key is that anytime you refrigerate or freeze a cookie, you want to give it about 15-30 minutes on the counter (if refrigerated overnight) to rest, the same goes for frozen cookies.

Ingredients for Easter M&M Cookies

This will be pretty much your standard list of ingredients for classic chocolate chip cookies plus some M&M’s. Here is what you will need:

  • Unsalted Butter – using unsalted allows you to control the saltiness of the recipe and make sure it is softened but not too soft!
  • Brown Sugar – you want fresh moist brown sugar to make the texture of these cookies perfect
  • White Sugar – just regular granulated white sugar
  • Egg – gives structure to the cookies and helps hold everything together
  • Vanilla Extract – adds to the flavor, and use the real stuff…no imitation vanilla
  • Flour – make sure to measure the flour correctly so they come out chewy and soft
  • Baking Soda – gives the cookies their rise and fluffiness
  • Cornstarch – helps make the cookies stay thick and soft
