Description
Banana Bread Pudding is a delightful dessert that combines the comforting flavors of banana and bread, transforming stale bread into a warm, custardy treat.
Ingredients
- Stale bread: 4 cups, cubed (about 1 loaf)
- Ripe bananas: 3, mashed
- Eggs: 3 large
- Milk: 2 cups
- Sugar: 3/4 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon
- Butter: 2 tablespoons (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
- Cut stale bread into cubes and mix with mashed bananas in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour the custard over the bread and banana mixture, stir gently, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, optionally drizzling with caramel sauce or adding ice cream.
Notes
- Stale bread absorbs the custard better than fresh bread.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for extra flavor.

- To freeze, cut into portions and wrap tightly; it can last for 2-3 months.
