Banana Bread and Butter Pudding

Insert banana slices into the classic bread pudding and you’ve got a whole new comfort dish.


Prep Time 20 to 30 minutes  Baking Time 35 to 40 minutes

1/4 cup softened butter, for brushing pan
1 loaf white bread, crust trimmed
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 medium egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups milk, warm
2 bananas, sliced into rounds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1  Prepare an 8x6-inch (or smaller) deep baking pan by brushing butter on its bottom and sides.

2  Cut each bread slice into four squares. Brush both sides of each bread square with melted butter. Take half the squares and place side by side on the base of the prepared pan. Make sure the whole dish is covered, but that the squares do not overlap.

3  In a bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add in warm milk, stirring continuously.

4  Pour half the milk mixture on top of the packed bread. Place half of the sliced bananas on top and sprinkle with half the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg.

5  Repeat steps 2 to 4, creating a second layer.

6  Bake the pudding at 350ËšF in a water bath for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes then dust with powdered sugar. Best served warm.

Baking tip  To bake in a water bath, simply place the baking pan in a bigger pan half-filled with water and let them bake in the oven together.
