Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray
1 loaf day-old challah or Italian bread, 16-18 oz. per loaf
2 bananas large
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups half and half
1/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
powdered sugar optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 9-inch square baking dish liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Slice one of the bananas into 1/4-inch thick coins and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the remaining unsliced banana. Add the eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, and whisk until combined. Add the bread cubes, sliced banana, and chocolate chips to the bowl. Fold together with a rubber spatula until the bread is thoroughly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the bread pudding on middle rack of oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking until bread pudding is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes.
  • Check to see that bread pudding is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
  • If serving warm, allow the bread pudding to cool for at least 15 minutes before plating. To serve cold, chill the bread pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar immediately before serving, if desired.
