Banana Bread Pudding Recipe

Print Recipe

A rich and comforting dessert made with ripe bananas and bread, baked into a warm pudding with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups cubed day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined.
  4. Add the cubed bread and gently fold until all the bread is coated with the mixture. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soak.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle nuts or chocolate chips on top if using.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set.
  7. Let it cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute milk with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free version.
  • Stale bread absorbs the custard better and gives a better texture.
