You have to try this recipe for your family or to bring to a potluck, I assure you there won’t be any left to take home!

I recently decided to figure out a really easy bread pudding recipe because I had it at a restaurant and forgot just how much I loved it! I started with a caramel apple bread pudding, and now here to show you how to make an easy banana bread pudding that may have surpassed the yumminess of the caramel apple….but barely. 😉 Here’s the recipe! (originally published 11/15, affiliate links present)

We buy bananas like they’re going out of style! I can’t bear to throw any out if they aren’t eaten so I’ve created this and other overripe banana recipes to share.

Banana bread pudding

Of course occasionally they become overripe and as to not let them go to waste I often make coconut banana bread out of them.

When we have yellow ripe bananas, this banana bread pudding recipe is a great way to use them in this incredible dessert. 

First you are going to use a loaf of french bread or I have even used a loaf of bread. For both I typically wait a few days after buying it to use because you don’t want the bread to be really soft.

This is what it should look like after it has cooled a bit. It will continue to cook a bit when you take it out in the pan. You want this so it stays really moist but the egg is cooked and safe to eat.

Pour the melted butter into your bundt pan and then use another banana and cut slices into your bundt pan holes so they come out on the top of your bread pudding (makes it pretty). You can use another pan or dish instead and the banana bread pudding recipe is the same, just may take a bit longer to bake but no biggie.

If you want to take this banana bread pudding recipe over the top add 1/2 cup of caramel bits or even chocolate chips.

• OH MY goodness is this a good addition.
• Now add your sugar/egg mixture into your bread/milk mixture and gently fold together.
• Fill your baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the sides begin to shrink in and egg is no longer runny. 
  • Spray with non stick spray first.
  • Take out when knife inserted into the center comes out clean. It will be very moist but shouldn’t come out with raw ingredients on it.
• I would allow it to sit on a cooling rack, but in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes in order to solidify more before slicing and serving.

What you need to make this Easy banana bread pudding

1. Bread – can use french bread or a loaf of bread with thick slices (like the brand you see shown above)
2. Overripe bananas – not too brown
3. Milk
4. Eggs
5. Sugar
6. Vanilla
7. Caramel bits – optional but really good
8. Serve with vanilla or banana flavored ice cream is amazing too

This leftover banana bread pudding recipe is so flavorful you won’t need any glaze or anything on top. It’s fantastic just the way it is.

• Now if you have a pressure cooker you can make our Instant Pot banana bread recipe too! Have you ever baked in that thing? It’s surprisingly good.
• AAAaaaand let’s round out our banana recipes with this moist and delectable banana pudding cake!! OH YES!
