Here’s how to create these Easy No-Bake Mini Banana Cream Pies:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Scoop the Mixture: Press the crumb mixture into the bottoms and sides of mini pie pans or a muffin tin to form crusts. Use your fingers or a small glass to help shape the crusts uniformly.
3. Chill the Crusts: Place the prepared crusts in the refrigerator to set for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Prepare the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
5. Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract until everything is combined, ensuring a light and fluffy consistency.
6. Layer in Bananas: Remove the crusts from the refrigerator. Place a few banana slices at the bottom of each crust.
7. Fill with Pudding: Spoon the banana pudding mixture into each crust, filling them generously.
8. Chill Again: Return the mini pies to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is set.
9. Garnish: Before serving, add more banana slices on top and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the mini pies from their molds and place them on a serving platter.
