Remember a month or so back when I teased you with photos of a recipe project that I was working on? It’s finally time to share all of the details, along with the first of many recipes that I came up with for WhoNu? Cookies. If you’re not familiar with WhoNu? – a collection of nutrition-rich cookies – you must check them out (and then go buy a box or two). They are amazing…not only alone, but as ingredients in a host of other treats (and, yes, that’s where I come in).
I worked for a few weeks in July baking up a storm (I had to invite friends over just to help eat all of the treats I was making). Recipe-creation takes a bit of trial and error, and there was lots of taste-testing, tons of photos, and plenty of happy kids in my house while the experiments were going on.
Here’s the first recipe I wanted to share. You can find this recipe on WhoNu?’s website, too (along with many others).
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 24 WhoNu?® Vanilla Wafer Cookies
- 2 large bananas, sliced
- In a medium saucepan, add sugar, flour, eggs, milk and salt. Stir well with a whisk.
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken (about 15 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Place 1 WhoNu?® Vanilla Wafer Cookie on the bottom of each of 12 paper-lined muffin cups. (We recommend buying the cups that are lined with foil.)
- Place 3 banana slices on top of the cookie.
- Pour pudding over the cookie and bananas, filling each muffin liner about ¾ full.
- Banana puddings can be eaten hot, or chilled and eaten cold later. Yummy topped with whipped cream!

I’m starting to see them in more stores now. They really are SO good. Especially the vanilla sandwich cookies. Yum!
Wow this look (and sound) delicious! I’ve never heard of WhoNu cookies – but I’m going to be on the lookout for them. This would be a great treat!
This sounds and looks super yummy!
