1/3 cup all-purpose flourDash of salt
2 1/2 cups fat free milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine flour and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually stir in milks, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened.
Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add Splenda, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (2 to 4 minutes). Spread meringue over pudding sealing the edges.

Arrange remaining 16 wafers around inside edge of dish, gently pressing wafers into pudding. Spread meringue over pudding, sealing edges. Bake 20 to 25 minutes
Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

Top each with 6 banana slices, 3 1/2 Tbsp. pudding, and 3 vanilla wafers. Spread 1/2 cup meringue over each pudding.
