Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Cut the stale banana bread into roughly 1-inch cubes. Spread the cubes evenly in the greased baking dish.
Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Stir the mashed bananas into the custard mixture until fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the banana bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Press the bread down gently with a spoon or spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10β15 minutes to allow the banana bread to soak up the custard fully.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40β45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Drizzle the warm banana bread bread pudding with caramel sauce, if desired, and serve. Enjoy!
