Let’s start baking!
Ingredients
- 4 cups of banana bread cut into cubes (a little stale works best)
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed up
- 2 cups of whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer taste)
- Three eggs
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- ¼ cup of sugar in granules
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¼ tsp of salt
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
○ Sauce for caramel
○ Sugar in powder form
○ Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Tools
- Bowls for mixing
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Baking dish that is 8 by 8 inches
- Rack for cooling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the banana bread into pieces that are 1 inch by 1 inch and put them in a mixing bowl.
- In a different bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter with a whisk.
- Pour the custard mixture over the banana bread cubes and gently mix it in. Let it soak for 15 minutes.
- Put the soaked mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- After 10 minutes, let the cake cool. Then serve it warm with ice cream, powdered sugar, or caramel sauce.
Tips and Suggestions
- Use banana bread that is a little old; it soaks up the custard better.
- Let the bread soak in the custard for more flavor, and don’t skip the resting time.
- Bake until golden brown. The center should be set but still soft.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for an extra treat.
- For the best experience, serve warm with ice cream or caramel sauce.
