My banana bread pudding is so indulgent and delicious– perfect for breakfast or dessert. The custard makes the bread perfectly moist and gooey, and the bananas add an extra layer of creaminess. I like to top the whole thing off with a simple vanilla glaze for dessert, but it’s also delicious with maple syrup or caramel sauce!
Banana Bread Pudding Recipe
I love a classic bread pudding, but this banana bread pudding is next-level delicious. Who knew some sliced bananas could add so much? I made this pudding with whole milk and cinnamon for a rich flavor, and it turned out so moist. I love to eat it cold the next day for breakfast!

How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover banana bread pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the microwave until warmed through.
Tips for Success
- I like to use overripe bananas with brown skins since they taste sweeter.
- I recommend buying hearty bread from your local grocery store or preparing it at home before using it in this recipe. Leave it out the day before so that it becomes slightly hard.
- Feel free to add some raisins or chopped walnuts!
