Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 6 cups day-old bread, cubed (use vegan bread)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or casserole.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Add the cubed bread pieces to the banana mixture, ensuring all the bread is evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts into the bread mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional sliced bananas or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
