Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (such as French or brioche)
• 2 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six 8-ounce ramekins or a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 5

Stir the mashed bananas into the milk mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Step 7

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 8

Divide the bread mixture evenly among the greased ramekins or pour it into the prepared baking dish. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon to ensure it is packed snugly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the puddings are set and golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Banana Bread Puddings!
