Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt until fully blended.
  3. Step 3: Add 6 cups cubed day-old banana bread and 3 sliced ripe bananas to the egg mixture, gently folding to combine so the bread absorbs the custard.
  4. Step 4: Pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Step 5: Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
