Ingredients
Scale
Bread Pudding:
- 4 cups cubed day-old bread (such as brioche or French bread)
Banana Mixture:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings:
- sliced bananas
- chopped nuts
- extra maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Bread: Spread the cubed bread evenly in the dish.
- Make the Banana Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Pudding: Pour the banana mixture over the bread cubes, gently pressing down to help the bread soak up the custard. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Top with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Best made with slightly stale bread so it holds its shape.
- Use whole milk or a dairy-free alternative depending on preference.
- This dish is great for breakfast or dessert and reheats well.
