I combined two New Orleans classic desserts into this Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Recipe. It’s rich, buttery, and moist with a distinct flavor that will keep you going back for bite after bite!

This Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Recipe that I developed always reminds me of 1. New Orleans and 2. my husband. We used to go to New Orleans once a year before we had children. New Orleans is what I consider to be the original ‘foodie town’. There is just such unique and inspiring foods and my inspiration for this Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Recipe. From gourmet to rustic, you can find food for any palette… and then some. We always have to visit our favorites, then try at least one new restaurant and one new food every visit.

The NOLA culinary adventure never disappoints.

I actually have several recipes on callmepmc.com that are inspired by the New Orleans cuisine. There’s Barbeque Shrimp, Creamy Barbeque Shrimp, Muffuletta and King Cake to name a few. (There’s more!)

This time of year always reminds me of our visits to New Orleans and I always want to cook creole or Cajun recipes. I previously made Peanut Butter Bread Bananas Foster. (Get all my bread pudding recipes here.)

Big Daddy had his Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Recipe for breakfast and gave it two thumbs up! Really if he doesn’t have anything ‘constructive’ to say about a recipe I make, you know it’s a winner. He didn’t offer any ‘improvements’ and even said, ‘You hit that flavor spot on. It tastes just like Bananas Foster!’

I agree.

Even though I used rum in this recipe, if you’re not a fan, you can easily omit it.

This bread pudding is dense and moist. The butter and brown sugar along with the rum and bananas, cook and caramelize giving the bread pudding a unique taste. You could even brush rum over the top and flamé before serving your guest if you choose. It was 9:00 a.m. when I served this, I didn’t think I needed such a display.

Equipment you’ll need for this recipe

  1. 9-inch springform pan
  2. serrated knife
  3. large bowl
  4. large pan

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

    Long time fan of your site, if you say all of these ingredients will fit in a 9-inch spring form pan, I believe you.

      You can 9 to 10 inch pan, just make sure the sides are deep enough. 3 to 4 inches deep. For me, the springform pan was easier to remove the bread pudding. That may be the only trouble you have with a different pan. You may want to line it with parchment paper so it doesn’t stick. https://amzn.to/2FjMS4I

    Hi Paula. I made your recipe for the Christmas holiday and everyone loved it. I made it the day of my dinner. I’m looking to make this again for my sons engagement party and was wondering if it can be made a day ahead of time? Thank you.

      Yes, you can either make the bread pudding a day ahead, refrigerate it overnight and bake it before serving. Or, you can bake it ahead and keep it in the refrigerator for one to two days, then reheat it in the oven if you want to serve it hot
