Delicious Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Pudding Loaf

This loaf features layers of moist banana bread mixed with a custard base, enriched with chocolate chips. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8 people.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups bread cubes (preferably stale or day-old bread)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• Butter for greasing the loaf pan

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter.
2. Prepare the Bread Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, bread cubes, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
3. Make the Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the bread and banana mixture, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
5. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the loaf to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
