Banana Bread Pudding transforms the classic comfort of moist, sweet banana bread into a rich, custard-soaked dessert. This decadent treat combines chunks of banana bread with a creamy mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla, which is poured over the bread pieces and allowed to absorb before baking. Often enhanced with cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of rum, the pudding is baked until it’s puffed and golden, with a custardy interior. Serve it warm, topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
