Banana bread pudding is a delectable new way to use up slightly ripened bananas and day-old bread. As an alternative to your go-to quick bread, this custard-based recipe—with all of the same flavors as its namesake—is an excellent brunch or dessert option for using up aging bananas. Although it’s exceptional on its own, a warm rum toffee sauce makes it even more decadent.
Why Is Stale Bread Better for Bread Pudding?
Using leftover French bread gives the custard a chance to settle into the nooks and crannies of the bread. It also helps to avoid a soggy mess.
