Ingredients
1 loaf white bread, cubed
3 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 beaten eggs
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2 bananas, mashed
Directions
1. Place the bread in a large baking pan and bake in a 400°F oven about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar and the beaten eggs and mix well.
3. Add bread cubes to milk mixture. Let it stand for approximately 20 minutes or until bread absorbs most of the mixture. Add the mashed banana mix well.
4. Pour the bread-pudding mixture into a baking pan. Bake uncovered in a 350° f oven for 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

I’ve been thinking of using bananas in a bread pudding. What a nice recipe! Beautiful!
I am not a fan of bread pudding, but hubby is- now banana, well I would become a fan! Great post Erica!
That is so pretty! and sounds wonderful
What a lovely recipe. I know my children will love it.
this looks like a comfort dish I could devour in one sitting1 yum!
delightful! i just saw a recipe for pumpkin bread pudding that looked great, but i’d much prefer this.
Looks more like a cake than a pudding! Yummy!
Very nice Erica combining the banana and bread. Excelente!
Thank you guys
I love arequipe and bread pudding combination and we can add rice pudding too!
This sounds great. Thanks
I just finished making this dish. It is so yummy! Be sure to use a large enough pan because this puffed up quite a bit. Thanks for a simple but wonderful recipe!
Ummm where do we add the ‘sugar’ ?
I supposed in with the rest of the ingredients right?
I guess add sugar with the rest of the ingredients…oops! must have forgotten to include here! brown sugar would be nice for a change?
Yes, Thank you
You can try it with brown sugar and I would love to know the verdict!
Hi,
How much bread should we use? A loaf can differ in size and can throw off the results. Can I replace the 5 whole eggs with 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites? I am looking for something tasty but no high in fat. Also can the butter be replaced with cooking oil? Also can the sugar be replaced with splenda? Any substitute for heavy cream? Im trying to reduce calories.
Thanks for your input.

Hi Charles,
It will be a different recipe, but you can try it! I won’t taste the same and the texture will be different.
1 small loaf (about 16 oz)
