Cooking Instructions:

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly.
• Step 2: Prepare the Baking Pan - Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
• Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add the egg, yogurt, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
• Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
• Step 5: Bake the Brownies - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Step 6: Prepare the Vanilla Caramel Glaze - In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in cream and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in sifted confectioners sugar until smooth and glossy.
• Step 7: Glaze the Brownies - Allow brownies to cool for 10 minutes before lifting them out onto a wire rack. Drizzle the Vanilla Caramel Glaze over the brownies once cooled.
• Step 8: Slice and Serve - Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
