How to Make Banana Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Place 6 cups of cubed stale bread into the prepared casserole dish.
- Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter and drizzle over the bread, tossing gently to coat.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat 4 large eggs.
- Add 2 cups of milk, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Stir in 3 ripe, mashed bananas.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, gently stirring to ensure all the bread is moistened.
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- While the pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce:
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk the sugar/cornstarch mixture into the melted butter until smooth.
- Slowly whisk in 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil and thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Serve the warm bread pudding topped generously with the warm vanilla sauce.
