Description
A delicious and comforting dessert made with ripe bananas and bread, baked into a rich and custardy pudding.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed day-old bread
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish lightly with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and melted butter until well combined.
- Add the cubed bread to the mixture and gently fold until all the bread is soaked.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- You can add raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Great way to use overripe bananas and leftover bread.
- Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
