Banana Bread Pudding @createdbydiane

I baked some of the banana bread puddings in glass jars,

what a fun serving container they made.

The lids will press down the filling a bit, but you can take them practically anywhere.

Banana Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce

Servings: 15 -18

Ingredients

  • 12 oz French bread
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon banana extract
  • 3 bananas

Instructions

  • I baked some of these in 4 oz glass jars, which is great for on the go, or to bring to someone. I've also baked them in a cupcake pan.
  • For easy release butter the sides and bottoms of the cupcake pan or use cupcake liners, this is unnecessary if you are serving it in glass jars.
  • Cut bread into 1 1/2 inch squares. If the bread is really soft, toasting it on a pan at 350 for 3-5 minutes will result in a slightly more dense dessert and not as flimsy and soft. If your bread is slightly firm, you can skip toasting it.
  • In medium bowl whisk milk, eggs, sugar, butter and flavors.
  • place the bread into mixture and stir gently
  • allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture about 5 minutes.
  • slice bananas, stir in 2 of the bananas, and use the third banana to add to the tops of the mixture after you portion if out.
  • Glass Jars (fill glass 4 oz jars 3/4 full, place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips that may spill over)
  • place 3 tablespoons into each cupcake portioned area and pour remaining egg mixture over tops (do not overfill the cupcake pan or it will spill over, place a baking sheet under the cupcake pan if you think it might, to prevent a mess in your oven)
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Serve with whipped cream and carmel sauce or ice cream.

  1. Can these be stored in the fridge ? If your making for a party could you make them a few days in advance ? What’s the shelf life

    1. Yes, they should be stored in the fridge (up to 5 days). If you make the caramel sauce, I’d add that after you reheat the bread pudding, or else it will soak in when stored in the fridge.
