This version of bread pudding with amaretto sauce has become our household favorite. By adding the bananas and soaking the bread in the milk/egg mixture, the final result becomes a moist and delicious pudding. Additionally, by soaking the raisins they become a plump and juicy addition. I hope this becomes a favorite in your home like it is in ours.
Bread pudding is by far my husband’s favorite desserts. Each time I make this I definitely earn “brownie points” with him!

Cut bread into 1-inch cubes.
Mash bananas with the tines of a fork.
Combine milk, eggs, sugar, bananas, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

Thanks! My fiancé is an amazing cook but me, not so much! I made this today for dinner so he didn’t have to cook. It was great! Easy enough for this inexperienced cook and tasty enough for his experienced taste buds! I added A super reduced balasmic on top since we use it for Caprese salad and it baked onto The chicken really well. This recipe is a keeper! Any idea for a balsamic Like sauce to go with it?

I’ve never had Bread Pudding, but this looks delicious! It’s looks great by itself, but do you serve anything with it? Definitely giving a try!

It’s the perfect dessert served with the Amaretto sauce, but any sliced fruit would go well with the Bread Pudding too! Hope you enjoy it! – Patti

My mother made bread pudding when I was a kid. She would put pineapple in it. I think she would love this with the amaretto sauce, and I think I would as well! Your husband knows the good stuff 🙂
