BANANA BREAD PUDDING





1 loaf day old Italian or French bread


3 eggs


1 scant cup sugar


1 quart milk or half and half


1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla


4 large ripe bananas, mashed


1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg


1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided in half


1 cup raisins


1/2 teaspoon fresh, finely grated ginger root


2 tablespoons dark rum or banana liqueur





Put the raisins in the rum or liqueur, and warm briefly in the microwave (20-30 seconds). Allow to sit at least 30 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and mix well.





Cube the loaf of bread, put it in a bowl with the milk and allow to stand for an hour.





Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and remaining spices. Mash the bananas and combine all ingredients together.





Turn out into a lightly greased 10X12 or 9X13 inch baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for 70-75 minutes or until edges are golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out nearly clean (same test as for cakes).





Cool and serve with whipped cream or banana sauce below.





Optional Banana Liqueur Sauce:

1 tablespoon butter


1 tablespoon banana liquor


1 tablespoon sugar





Saute sliced banana in butter over high heat for 2 minutes, add sugar and liqueur and remove from heat. Stir well and serve over banana pudding. Top with whipped cream.Help! I need an easy banana bread recipe!?

this one always works for me.


1/3 cup butter


2/3 cup white sugar


1/3 cup brown sugar


1 egg


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 cup mashed bananas


1/2 cup sour milk


1 2/3 cups flour


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 teaspoon baking powder


Cream butter. Add sugars. Cream until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, bananas. Continue beating. Add sifted dry ingredients alternating with sour milk. Mix well. Bake in greased and floured loaf pan or can be made into 9'; x 13'; cake pan. Bake loaf about 45minutes - 1 hour depending on your oven. I use 375 degrees F. Bake cake about 20 - 25 minutes or until done.
Quite honestly, just pick up a box of Pillsbury's Banana Bread Mix at the store and follow the directions to make it. No sense re-inventing the wheel if there's no need to.


However, that being said, see the below link to read Emeril's recipe.

It's weird that you asked this question since I actually just took this out of the oven an hour ago and it's fantastic!





1/2 cup butter (1 stick)


2 cups sugar


2 eggs


1 tsp. salt


1 tsp. baking soda


4 cups all purpose flour


6 ripe bananas


1 cup finely chopped nuts (or chocolate chips)





Cream the butter, sugar and eggs.





In a separate bowl, sift together salt, baking soda and flour.





In another bowl mash the bananas. (If the bananas aren't ripe enough then the bread will be on the dryer side)





Add bananas to the creamed sugar mixture, mix in the flour and the nuts (or chocolate)





Pour the mixture into 2 well greased bread pans and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. (I used 4 mini pans for 30 minutes)








OPTIONAL: I sprinkle a mix of cinnamon and sugar on the top of the bread before I put it in the oven, it's Delicious.








Enjoy!
