Creating Banana Pudding Rolls is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Vanilla and Milk: Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in Bananas: Gently fold in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed.
7. Pour into Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan.
8. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Roll: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, place a clean kitchen towel over the cake and carefully roll it up from one short end. Let it cool completely in this rolled position.
10. Prepare Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk until thickened.
11. Make Whipped Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. If desired, add powdered sugar for sweetness.
12. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until well combined.
13. Assemble the Rolls: Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently. Spread the pudding mixture over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
14. Re-Roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake back up, starting from one end. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
15. Slice and Serve: After chilling, slice the rolls into 1-inch pieces, arrange on a serving platter, and garnish with sliced bananas and crushed vanilla wafers if desired.
