    What is Bread Pudding?

    Traditional bread pudding is a dessert made with stale bread, a mixture of milk, sugar, and eggs. It can be served warm or cold. It's easy to make and can be made ahead of time. This dessert is versatile and you can add different ingredients and fruits for delicious variations.

    I decided to add bananas to my bread pudding recipe and the result was fantastic, this recipe is perfect when you have ripe bananas in your counter and don't want to waste them.

    This recipe is a Banana Bread Pudding variation and I know you are going to love it, perfect for those winter days when you have company or when you want a a sweet treat during the week.

    What you'll need for this recipe

    To make this banana bread pudding you can use any white bread you have at home or for an upgrade brioche is delicious in bread pudding, whole milk, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, eggs, cinnamon, sugar and bananas. The exact amounts and cooking instructions are in the recipe card below.

    Be sure to use stale bread to make this recipe, but if you don't have it, just place the cubed fresh bread in a baking sheet and bake it at 300 F for about 7 minutes. You can also add raisins, peanuts or chocolate chips to this banana bread pudding recipe if you want. Store in an covered airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.

    This dish is very versatile you can serve it for breakfast with a cup of coffee, snack or dessert. I like to serve this banana bread pudding recipe drizzle with warm caramel sauce or dulce de leche on top and one scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

    • 1 loaf white bread cubed
    • 3 cups milk
    • ½ cup heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 5 beaten eggs
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 cup sugar

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar and the beaten eggs and mix well.
    • 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.
    • 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.

    Be sure to use stale bead for this recipe, it's the best to soak the sauce. If you have fresh bread, just place it in the oven and bake it for about 7 minutes to make it hard.

      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!

      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.

      Charles

        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)

      Hi Erica, I am making this for the second time. Love it!! Could you tell me why the bread needs to be put in fridge after being in the oven? What is that step for? If I don't wait, does that mean I can not eat it?

      Bread pudding has always been a favorite in my family. This recipe takes it to the next level for me because of the bananas. Absolutely delicious! Making a second pan with chocolate chips thrown in with the bananas. That was my son's suggestion.
