Banana Bread-Bread Pudding

"How is this one different? It's made with banana bread instead of plain bread. I had an extra loaf of it that needed to be eaten or frozen, and was thinking about my Recipe #76914, and thought--"Why not?" So here it is...start with a layer of your favorite banana bread, a layer of chopped bananas, more bread, and a lovely custard poured over the whole thing. It is heavenly! A nice change of pace, and very easy to throw together."

ingredients

  • 1 loaf banana bread (approximately 9 x 5, or 8 x 4 inches, OR about 6 cups total cubed banana bread)
  • 236.59 ml half-and-half
  • 473.18 ml milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 78.78 ml sugar
  • 4.92 ml vanilla
  • 1 banana (chopped or sliced, you may need 2 if they're smallish)

directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F, and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Slice the banana bread into 1 inch slices, place on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven, about 8-10 minutes, then cut into cubes.
  • Place half the cubes in the baking dish, and cover with the chopped or sliced banana, then add the rest of the bread cubes over that.
  • Whisk the half and half, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl, and pour over the banana bread cubes in the baking dish.
  • Let it sit for about 5 minutes before putting it in the oven.
  • Bake for one hour--a knife inserted in the center will look wet, but mostly clean.
  • Let it set for 5-10 minutes, and scoop out and serve warm, with cream, or it's even delicious plain.

  1. I made bourbon praline sauce for it and it was omg good!
     
  2. This was delicious. I made some mini-loaves of banana bread, but didn't have enough banana, so they turned out a little dry. I wanted to use them some other way, so I found this recipe. The only thing I did different was using a 9x13 pan (I don't own an 8x8). Served with vanilla ice cream...yummy.

  4. This recipe was EXCELLENT!!!! I made no alterations. It came out moist, perfectly baked and sooooo tastey. I've been trying to make a good banana bread pudding using banana bread for years but it's always a disappointment, this one was WONDERFUL. I think what makes this one so good and not at all dry is adding the bananas, I used 2 small ones. Thanks.
     
  5. Fabulous! Rave reviews at my dinner party. Served with praline bourbon sauce. Delicious.
