Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Custard

    In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the banana custard mixture over the bread cubes. Gently fold in the chopped nuts. Allow the mixture to sit for about 20 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
