Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (such as French or brioche)
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six 8-ounce ramekins or a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Stir the mashed bananas into the milk mixture and mix until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Divide the bread mixture evenly among the greased ramekins or pour it into the prepared baking dish. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon to ensure it is packed snugly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the puddings are set and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Banana Bread Puddings!
