BANANA BREAD-BREAD PUDDING



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.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2-pound day-old French bread, cubed into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
2 cups milk (I used 2%)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup firm bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds (from about 2 medium/large bananas)
1/2 cup raisins, optional
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
1/4 cup light-colored corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F, spray a 2 to 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray, and add the bread cubes; set aside.
  • Pour the butter over the bread and toss to coat; set aside.
  • To a medium bowl, add the eggs and lightly beat them.
  • Add the milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and stir to combine.
  • Add the bananas and stir to combine (Note - use firm bananas so they hold their shape and don't fall apart while baking).
  • Optionally stir in the raisins.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes and mix with your hands to toss and coat the bread evenly.
  • Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown and there's no liquid pooling in the center. When the bread pudding is in the final 5 to 10 minutes of baking, make the sauce.
  • To a medium sauce pan, add the butter and heat over medium heat to melt.
  • Add the cornstarch to the butter and whisk to combine until disolved.
  • Add the sugars, milk, corn syrup, salt, and whisk to combine. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture comes to a full boil. Boil for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Remove mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the warm sauce over the warm bread pudding and serve immediately; you may have leftover sauce, which will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING



Bananas Foster Bread Pudding image

Here is a nod both to the original bananas Foster at Brennan's restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans and to the luxe version of bananas baba au rhum that the Louisiana chef Allison Vines-Rushing once cooked at Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar in the East Village. Silky and rich, deep with the flavors of bananas, rum and custard, it is not much work to make, and pays off in incredible flavor. Do not be afraid to use an even darker sugar than the brown called for in the recipe, though molasses may be a step too far. You are looking for a deep caramel hue and flavor in the sauce, to complement the rum and the fruit. (And if you're looking to try the original, make our bananas foster recipe.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup plus ½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus ½ cup dark rum
1 teaspoon plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups cubed brioche, approximately ½ loaf
5 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into coins
1 tablespoon white sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ¼ cup of brown sugar, vanilla, 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the bread, and stir so that it absorbs the liquid. Set aside to soak.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish, and place it on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of the dish with banana coins, then spoon about ½ of the soaked bread over them. Top with banana coins, and spoon the remaining soaked bread over the top. Bake for 40 minutes, then sprinkle with the tablespoon of white sugar. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, approximately 50 to 60 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small sauce set over medium heat. Add the remaining brown sugar, cream, remaining rum and salt, and whisk until combined. Simmer, whisking, until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with some of the sauce drizzled over the top, alongside vanilla ice cream.

WALNUT BANANA BREAD PUDDING



Walnut Banana Bread Pudding image

My mom has been making this recipe since I was little. This dessert is a big hit at every barbecue and potluck I bring this to! Sometimes I use pecans instead of walnuts. This is great with coconuts, raisins, and dried cranberries, too!

Provided by LoavesofLuv

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 10h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter, divided
1 (16 ounce) loaf day-old French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup chopped walnuts
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch salt
4 very ripe bananas, mashed

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter; place the remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat, and melt the butter. Spread the French bread cubes out into the greased pan, and drizzle the melted butter over the bread.
  • Place the walnuts into a dry skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir until the walnuts turn a light golden brown and give off a toasted fragrance, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Remove from heat, and transfer walnuts into a bowl immediately to cool. Set walnuts aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly just to break yolks, and mix in the cream, condensed milk, coconut milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Whisk to thoroughly combine until smooth. Stir in mashed banana and 3/4 cup of walnuts. Pour the banana mixture evenly over the bread cubes, and push bread cubes into the mixture to coat well with the custard. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap, and cover dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and return to oven until the top is browned and the edges are pulling away from the pan, about 45 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread pudding will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense pudding.
  • Use a variety of bread. You can use white bread, wheat bread, or a combination of both. Using a variety of bread will give your pudding a more complex flavor.
  • Add some spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice can add a warm, cozy flavor to your pudding.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Banana bread pudding is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Banana bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover bread and bananas, and it's always a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give banana bread pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
