Description

Truly Sticky Banana Bread Pudding Cake is a delicious dessert made with ripe bananas and day-old bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 4 cups day-old bread, cubed (preferably brioche or challah)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Whipped cream or ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, add the cubed bread. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes. Gently fold until the bread is fully soaked and combined.
  5. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
  6. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
  9. Cut into squares and serve warm, with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream if desired.
