Super easy and quick to make. This is something I whip up on the fly when company shows up at the door without warning. You'll love these little treats, and so will your guests!
Have you ever had one of those days where you are super de duper busy and being pulled in every direction? I know you have. We all have. Am I right?
You finally get home after a busy day and just as you go to slip on your jammies just  in time for your favourite TV show (Supernatural- can you say Winchester boys rock my world) the doorbell rings.
You are now doing a check in your head!!
Did I clean today?
Did I do laundry today or is it piled up by the front door for some unknown reason?
Then the OMGÂ do I have anything to feed people moment hits!!
Well folks this is a surefire way to please those unannounced naughty guests who should have called but did not. I mean seriously, who stops in on a weeknight when your favourite show is on anyway.
Have a plan of action in place for emergencies like this. You need to be prepared. Keep your pantry stocked with quick ingredients like graham crumbs, puddings, cookies, and things like that.
Set a code word set with hubby for moments like this. Try *winchester sandwich* as he'll never know what you mean anyway, then that will be his cue to take the rude visitors on a tour of some project you did 3 years ago and never finished.
You now have 5 minutes. This is what you make. And honestly, it seriously takes only 5 minutes.
You're welcome!Â

Now drop lots of hints about how tired you are before Supernatural starts. Or tell them you are coming down with the flu, that always works.

Great save there Kim Bee! Talk about throwing something together fast! It looks delicious!
Kim Bee
Lol, pure fiction. No really, total fiction. Thanks! xx
Tina
Ha-the secret is out now, anyone can drop by unannounced and get a delicious dessert at Kim's place. In addition, she has an important TV schedule and has no issues with you dining and dashing!
This looks delicious, but I will need a bigger spoon to insure I can get all the components together in one bite-yum! Enjoy the weekend!

My family would love these. I made something similar in a no bake pie.. but I like the look of these better. Very fun. Hope you got to watch Supernatural!! Have a great weekend! ~ Ramona
Anita at Hungry Couple
Yum! We love banana cream pie and it hadn't occurred to me to do it this way. I love using jars because it's easy to create individual portions...otherwise we have a tendency to eat pie right out of the baking dish until half of it's gone 🙂 Easy to make this recipe low fat, too. Def stealing this one!
Laura @ A Healthy Jalapeño
Kim these look adorable, I love it. and perfect when you need a last minute recipe for guests. Nicely done!!!
The Mom Chef
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's had to shove things in the oven! This is definitely a fantastic, quick dessert. Well done!

Very cute pie! How luck your unannouced guests were to be served this!
Lizzy
You go, girl!!! No way could I have pulled this off!!! I'd be pulling my hair out, not brushing it! Hubby would love this pie in a jar...and it looks like you worked all day. Have a great weekend, Kim B!!!!

I love to have some standby recipes like this, where you can make something delicious out of everyday ingredients, thanks for sharing. Must get me some mason jars.

Ingenious!! Love this, and your post made me giggle!! 🙂 My hubby LOVES banana cream pie. Can't wait to try this!!
Michaela an affair from the heart

You are so much more on the ball than you give yourself credit. In the same situation, I'd be like deer in the headlights without a clue. These are SO cute. I am thinking that you could use strawberries or peaches depending on the season and what's on hand (As a banana hater, my mind always tries to come up with alternatives, don't mind me.)
Crunchy Creamy Sweet
This is one of those recipes that every cook should have on hand. Brilliant, Kim!
Magic of Spice
I would be willing to become a rude person and drop buy unannounced if this treat was waiting for me 😉 Absolutely delicious and love the jar serving 🙂
Kim Bee
I love the dine and dash. Especially on tv night. Lol! Bigger spoon all ready for ya!
Kim Bee
Thanks Ramona. I love no bake stuff. Sometimes it's nice to just do something fast and delicious.
Kim Bee
Hi Anita. These types of desserts are so great. Everyone gets their own, it's totally portion controlled and they just look cute.
Kim Bee
Thanks Laura. I have a gazillion of these kind of recipes. I think from spending so much time at the barn I had to learn to do easy and fast or we never ate. Lol!
Kim Bee
Oven, dishwasher, under beds, washing machine, whatever works. I love quick recipes. So great for busy moms.
Kim Bee
Thanks and Lol!
