Banana Bread-Bread Pudding image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf banana bread (approximately 9 x 5, or 8 x 4 inches, OR about 6 cups total cubed banana bread)
1 cup half-and-half
2 cups milk
4 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 banana (chopped or sliced, you may need 2 if they're smallish)

Steps:

  • 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.
