Ingredients
  

Custard Mixture
  • 4 large Eggs Provides structure and richness to the custard base.
  • 2 cups Milk Whole or 2% milk works best.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can be replaced with half and half for a lighter option.
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Contributes sweetness; white sugar may be substituted.
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Can be swapped with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut allergies.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the overall flavor profile.
Bread Base
  • 8 cups Day-Old Bread Brioche or challah is preferred.
  • 3 Ripe Bananas Overripe bananas are best for maximum flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Raisins (optional) Can be replaced with chocolate chips.
For Assembly

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish generously with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, whisking until creamy.
  3. Cut the day-old bread into bite-sized cubes. Fold the bread cubes into the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes.
  4. Slice the ripe bananas and gently fold them into the mixture. Add raisins or chocolate chips if desired and combine without mashing the bananas.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top.
  6. Let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
