This bread pudding is perfect for those of us who don't like it too sweet, but don't want to sacrifice rich custard. Nicely spiced, with perfect texture. Enjoy with a scoop of snickerdoodle ice cream and a glass of cold milk!

Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 (16 ounce) loaf banana bread

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 1 cup milk, or as needed

  • 4 large eggs, beaten slightly

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.

  2. Break banana bread, including heels, into 1-inch pieces. Place in the prepared dish.

  3. Pour condensed and evaporated milks into a 4-cup measure. Add enough regular milk to make 4 cups. Pour this into a large bowl.

  4. Add eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon and stir briskly until well blended.

  5. Pour custard mixture over the bread. Push bread down with the back of a spoon until it is soaked through. Scatter butter pieces across the top and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Pudding may look dark around the edges.)

Cook's Notes:

I use a 16-ounce loaf of Pepperidge Farm® banana breakfast bread. If you, like my DH, prefer to add raisins, feel free.

I make it in a glass dish, so please adjust the baking time if you use a metal pan.
