Ingredients
Scale
Bread Pudding:
- 4 cups cubed day-old bread (such as French or brioche)
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Additional:
- butter or nonstick spray for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Combine with bread: Add the bread cubes to the mixture and gently stir to coat all the bread evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with chopped walnuts if using. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, add chocolate chips or a drizzle of maple syrup on top before baking.
- This pudding is delicious warm or chilled and can be reheated easily.
- Use whole milk for a richer texture or plant-based milk for a dairy-friendly option.
