Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (cubed) Banana bread, stale or day-old
- 2 medium Bananas, ripe
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter, unsalted (for greasing dish)
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°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 10–15 minutes to allow the banana bread to soak up the custard fully.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 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!
