Little Debbie® Unveils Exciting New Flavor: Banana Puddin' Creme Pie

COLLEGEDALE, Tenn., Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- McKee Foods, the maker of Little Debbie^® snacks, is proud to introduce its latest innovation: the Banana Puddin' Creme Pie, coming in January 2026. With this launch, Little Debbie combines nostalgic dessert comfort with modern convenience — delivering the flavor of classic Southern banana pudding in a soft, sandwich cookie.

A Flavorful Twist on a Timeless Favorite

Fans of Little Debbie know the brand for its beloved line of creme pies — think Oatmeal Creme Pies, Nutty Buddy^® Creme Pies and more. Building on that heritage, the Banana Puddin' Creme Pie was developed to evoke the timeless dessert experience: layers of soft vanilla cookie, banana-flavored creme and a hint of sweet custard.

Soft, sweet vanilla cookies sandwich a fluffy banana-flavored creme for a taste that's dreamy, comforting and irresistibly snackable. Inspired by the beloved banana pudding dessert, this treat brings homemade charm to every bite.

"Our mission was simple," said Kenny Hammontree, Little Debbie Brand manager. "We wanted to take the comforting, nostalgic flavor of banana pudding and bring it into a snack-cake format you can enjoy anytime — without spoons, bowls or the mess."

Banana Flavor Is Having Its Moment

Turns out, banana is having a moment! From smoothies to desserts, this classic flavor is popping up everywhere — and fans can't get enough of its creamy, nostalgic sweetness. But when it comes to soft sandwich cookies, there's been a big banana-sized hole in the lineup… until now!

Little Debbie's Banana Puddin' Creme Pie fills that gap perfectly, blending two fan favorites — the cozy taste of banana pudding and the soft, sweet texture of our signature creme pies. It's the kind of treat that makes snack time feel like home, one bite at a time.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Little Debbie or discovering the brand for the first time, the Banana Puddin' Creme Pie invites you to "take a break" in the best way — with a sweet bite that's both playful and comforting. Make it part of your everyday snack lineup or save it for those moments when you crave something a little extra.
