Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter

  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 35%
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 cups Chopped Bread Cubes approximately 16oz
  • 3 Overripe Bananas sliced (approximately 1 cup)

Optional Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Icing Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.

  • Cover the casserole dish with tinfoil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the tinfoil and continue baking for 20-30 more minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow bread pudding to cool slightly before preparing the optional vanilla glaze.

Notes

  • If you want an extra moist quick bread, add an additional banana.
  • For a more pronounced banana flavor, use all overripe bananas.
  • I recommend that you spray your casserole dish well so that clean-up is easy. 
  • Another way to top this brunch recipe is to drizzle the top with caramel sauce, or chocolate syrup. 
  • I've found that white bread, sourdough bread, brioche, challah, or french bread work best for this recipe. 
  • You can also add more flavor to this pudding by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or ground nutmeg.
