Description
A simple recipe for rich banana bread pudding.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups stale banana bread, cubed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the cubed banana bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle raisins over the bread if you are using them.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture slowly and evenly over the banana bread cubes. Press down gently to help the bread absorb the liquid. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
- Brush the top lightly with melted butter during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use day-old banana bread for best results.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
