Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Recipe

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!

  Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

 

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.

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding Recipe

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!)

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

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.

Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

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

      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.

    Reply
    • Paula says

      03.13.19 at 4:09 pm

      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

    Rather than use a springform pan could I use a cast iron skillet? And, if so, would I need to make any changes in oven temp or cook times, etc.?

    Made this banana bread pudding for my bunco group. OMG, everyone wanted the recipe. I had never made it before but had a friend coming who lives bananas foster and she said this was the best she had ever eaten, including her on trip to New Orleans. This will definitely be made again and again. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

    Has anyone refrigerated this dessert? My husband stuck it in the fridge shortly after it came out of the oven and when I tried it this morning, the bananas were an unpleasant texture. Otherwise, the dish is phenomenal.

    Can this be made a day in advance? Or can I just make it then reheat it when it comes close to dessert time? Also interested in an optional springform pan?

    Reply
    • Paula says

      08.17.15 at 4:34 pm

      Yes, you can make it beforehand. I would probably heat each serving in the microwave, but I’m impatient. It would probably be better reheated in the oven though. I always make desserts early because guests make me nervous 🙂

      I used a springform pan because it seemed easier to remove and my springform pan is deeper than any other cake pan I have. Any cake pan would work, but you may need to adjust the cook time if your batter isn’t as thick. Also, just run a knife around the edge and be very careful inverting it from the pan. Of course, if it doesn’t come out perfect just cover that part with ice cream or more caramel sauce and noone will know.

    When you say to wrap foil around the bottom of the pan, do you mean to wrap the outside of the pan? Or to line the inside bottom of the pan?

    in very interested in blogging, just don’t know where to begin, maybe someone would be nice to give some tips and let me look at few of the blogs for food choice to get healthy, I am overweight, and I have about 50 pounds left to lose, I did have stomach surgery to lose the weight, but found out there were lots of stuff I couldn’t eat of digest because it got stuck, I know that sounds ridiculous, but try to eat beef, besides hamburger meat that’s easily digestible , I have tried chicken, but If am not careful and do not chew it slowly , small bites it gets stuck and that’s hours of digestive time, sometimes 12 hours, buy that time it is very sour in your stomach, and any amount of liquids you drink only make you throw up the water or liquids that you have just drank. I did lose and unimaginable amount of weight and I was so proud, this is going to work for me. it wasn’t the diet that helped me lose the weight, it was dancing, I am trying to find some type of exercise program that will work for me, I am very stationary, so I will need to start out easy. so if anyone has any ideas to help, they would be greatly appreciated.
