BANANA PUDDING SQUARES

I found this recipe in a Kraft magazine. Prep time does not include refrigeration time. Recipe hounds, please note Deely's review! I have changed the pan size to 8x8 because Deely says this recipe will not make enough to fill a 9x13 pan. If a larger dessert is needed, please double the recipe.

Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pudding tough.
Bake the pudding until it is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Chill the pudding before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.
Top the pudding with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and creamy topping.
