Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 6 slices wheat bread
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cups raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch (or similarly sized) baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Tear the wheat bread slices into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread and bananas, stirring gently to ensure everything is evenly coated and the bread soaks up the liquid.
If using raisins, fold them into the mixture at this point.
Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter for a rich flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is slightly firm but still moist in the center.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own, or with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
