    Fall is all about cozy eats and comfort food. Banana bread is one of those almost universally beloved comfort foods. Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Bread Pudding takes the comforting classic to the next level.

    Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Bread Pudding

    Whether you're looking a way to use leftover Banana Bread or a twist on the classic, this sticky and moist dessert will have you reaching for another bite. The only question is, would you eat this for breakfast?

    Ingredients

    Forget leftovers. Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Bread Pudding is a total makeover! Combining tender and moist banana bread with a few pantry and baking staples, this dessert comes together easily.

    • Gluten Free Banana Bread - Why make regular bread pudding when you can use banana bread? Aside from the natural sweetness and fruitiness of the bananas, it usually has the crunch of nuts and warm spices.
    • Eggs - Helps form the base of the custard that holds bread pudding together.
    • Dairy Free Milk - Use your favorite non-dairy variety such as oat milk.
    • Vanilla Extract - The higher the quality the vanilla, the more flavor you will have.
    • Sugar - Because banana bread is already sweet, it doesn't take much to bring together the custard for this dessert.
    • Dairy Free Butter - Adds a little richness to the custard while helping it to brown.
    • Cinnamon - Echoes the cinnamon in the banana bread while giving another layer of warmth.
    • Dairy Free Sweetened Condensed Milk - Gets cooked down to form an easy caramel sauce that is drizzled on at the end.
    • Walnuts - While this is optional, it adds crunch and texture to every bite.
    • Dairy Free Ice Cream - Cold vanilla ice cream melting on warm bread pudding is the ultimate combination.

    How to Make Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Bread Pudding

    Using already made banana bread, this recipe comes together quickly and easily. Just add a mimosa and call it brunch!

    Time needed: 1 hour.

    Sweet banana bread, warm cinnamon, and an easy caramel sauce come together for the ultimate creation.

    1. Pregame

      Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 7x10 baking dish with nonstick baking spray and set it aside.

    2. Custard

      Mix together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and butter.

    3. Soak

      Add the cubed banana bread to the prepared baking dish. Pour the custard over the top.

    4. Bake

      Bake the banana bread pudding for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.

    5. Caramel

      Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a pot over medium heat. Allow it to cook for five minutes until it has slightly thickened and turned more golden. Pour the caramel over the top of the Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Bread Pudding.

    6. Finishing Touch

      Top the bread pudding with walnuts and Dairy Free ice cream if desired. Enjoy!

    Substitutions

    How to Measure Bananas

    We’ve all made banana bread or seen recipes that call for half a cup or a cup of bananas. But how much do you actually need when it comes to measuring bananas themselves? When it comes to measuring bananas, a recipe can state whether it’s chopped, or mashed, as in most banana bread recipes. However, they both measure slightly differently! Keep in mind that when adding bananas to a recipe more banana doesn’t equal more flavor. Instead, it could leave you with a dense or mushy finished product. Instead, you want to use the ripest bananas possible for the most intense banana flavor. 

    How to Measure Bananas

    Here is an easy guide to use the next time you need to measure out fresh banana for a recipe. 

    • ½ banana: ⅓ cup chopped | ¼ cup mashed
    • 1 banana: ⅔ cup chopped | ½ cup mashed
    • 1-½ bananas: 1 cup chopped | ¾ cup mashed
    • 2 bananas: 1-⅓ cups chopped | 1 cup mashed
    • 3 bananas: 2 cups chopped | 1-½ cups mashed
    • 4 bananas: 2-⅔ cups chopped | 2 cups mashed

    Top Tip for Gluten and Dairy Free Banana Bread Pudding

    When you pour your custard base over the cubed banana bread, allow it to soak in before baking. This will ensure every bite has that soften and tender texture. In addition, even sized cubes will help this dessert have a consistent texture and bake up better.
