Best ripeness for bananas in homemade pudding?

[Marich]

I'm trying to perfect my banana pudding and was wondering about the best banana ripeness to use. Do you guys prefer using yellower bananas or ones that are a bit brown? Looking forward to hearing your preferences and why!

For the best banana pudding, go for bananas with a few brown spots. They’re sweeter and give your pudding that extra flavor kick without turning mushy. Yellow bananas are good too, but those brown speckles really make a difference! Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!

Totally agree! Brown-spotted bananas add that extra yum factor—thanks for the tip, can’t wait to dig in!
