Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 loaf day old French baguette
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 ripe bananas (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cut the day old bread into 1 inch cubes and place into a small bowl. Pour the melted butter over the bread cubes.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and let soak for at least 10 minutes.
  • Grease a 9x9 pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the soaked bread cubes and remaining egg mixture into the pan and spread into an even layer. Add the chopped bananas to the pan last, and press into the open spaces between the bread cubes.
  • Bake the bread pudding for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the bread pudding is baking, in a small skillet over medium high heat, stir together the butter, sugar, cornstarch, milk, and corn syrup. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour the vanilla into the milk glaze and stir to combine, then remove the glaze from the heat. Allow to cool until warm and pour over the baked banana bread pudding. Serve warm or eat room temperature - the glaze will stiffen and set once cooled.
