It all starts with some mighty fine home made banana bread. Pick your favorite, it doesn’t matter, but leave out the nuts…I know it’s hard, but leave them in the cupboard this once. Butter a large baking dish and layer it with slices or strips of the bread.
Whisk together 2 cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar. Then add three egg yolks one at a time while whisking and finally one whole egg. Whisk, whisk, whisk.
Add 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Whisk, whisk, whisk.
Cut slices of fresh bananas and place over the bread then pour enough of the custard to just cover this layer.
Add another layer of banana bread.
And another layer of freshly sliced bananas.
Crumble more banana bread on top and pour the remaining custard over the entire dish.
It might look like this…or more soupy, either way, it’s fine.
Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
Take out and set aside to cool slightly.
Time to make the rum sauce.
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Whisk together in a sauce pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 cup rum, 1/4 cup water and bring to a rolling boil until mixture thickens and sugar is dissolved around 5 minutes.
Serve banana bread pudding warm with a healthy drizzle of rum sauce and a huge dollop of fresh whipping cream, sprinkle nutmeg on top and die happy.

Who’s that? Who’s that boy eating banana bread pudding in your kitchen?
I tell ya April, you just upped Ree with this one. Mighty fine looking indeed. It’ll go great with the other dimples on my fanny too.
Amy, there is always a boy eating in my kitchen. Some of them share my last name and some don’t. That one doesn’t, he’s one of Seth’s friends, but I would adopt him in a heartbeat if his parents didn’t like him so much.
You had me at the Banana Bread- didn’t see that one coming! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Can’t wait to try this one…did you use more than one loaf of banana bread?
Ohhhh, baby, that looks fabulous. About how many fresh bananas are we talking here?
Can’t wait to try this.

Barb, I think I went through 4 large bananas. And I made two loaves of bread, but you don’t have to make it as thick as I did.
This looks really yummy! I think my dad would enjoy it.
Temptress, thy name is CCF banana pudding. Get thee behind me! No wait, there is already too many banana puddings on my behind.
O.M.G. I can’t wait to try this. I’m full of salad and spaghetti tonight but those photos have me salivating. Thanks for sharing!!!
Ohh Boy April, yum…! I need to make this for my banana boy!
Looks good! I might try it; see if I can bribe some kid into shoveling away all our snow.
Oh yummy! Thanks for posting!
Yum!
I’m not a big fan of bananas, but Danny is, so I asked him how this recipe sounds to him. He said, “Banana bread sounds good, rum sauce sounds good, but I’m not so sure about the bread pudding.” Even though he will now admit that Ree’s bread pudding with whiskey cream sauce is thebomb.com, he is still suspicious of any bread pudding. I think he’ll love this, though, so I’m going to make it for him soon. This is the man that has requested banana pudding several times instead of birthday cake, so he’s gotta love it. (I won’t try the banana pudding again. I’m tired of hearing that I don’t make it like his mom.) Who knows? Maybe with that rum sauce and whipped cream even I will love it.
Thanks so much, P Dub!
Thanks, April! Sounds divine.
April, that looks scrumptious!!! And on the day after I start my New Year’s resolution weight loss program. Believe me, I’m adding it to the list of “treats” I’ll earn soon.
Take care and stay warm!

This recipe looks yummy. Do you think my Baptist domino playing friends would detect the rum in the sauce? ha ha
Where is your sister? She hasn’t blogged in forever. Is she okay? Check on her for me, okay?
This recipe looks absolutely yummy! Too bad I am the only one in my house who likes bananas!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! and did I say THANK YOU!!!
First, that sounds delicious!
Second, two questions for ya. 1 – What kind of rum do you use? 2 – What if I did very thin slices of banana bread and ended with a layer of thin sliced banana bread on top? I don’t think my husband could handle the look of those bananas cooked.
Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!
Rebecca,
I use Morgans. And go for it, when I made it last year I ended with bread on top and it was fine…I say do it!
I am so glad you posted this recipe – I saw the picture from yesterday, and was even telling my dad about it – I am going to make this on Saturday, and I am so excited!
Yikes! I thought it said whiskey, whiskey, whiskey- not whisk whisk whisk. Hmmm
I was salivating when I first saw the photos the other day.
I kept checking back to see if you posted the recipe.
All my favorite ingredients. No calories!!
Okay…I have never had bread pudding in my life because the thought of soggy bread has always scared me a little. But oh.my.goodness does your banana bread pudding sound good…I might have to try that!
Quit making me so hungry.
Why leave out the nuts? I just made banana bread and it has pecans in it!
there goes my new years resolution
Hey!!!!! It’s COLE!!!!! Thanks, APE!!!!!!! {{{hugs}}}
My baby boy LOVES bananas… and I do believe this will be a hit with him and with his Daddy. Oh, who am I kidding… I might eat it all before they get a chance! ha! Anyway, thanks a “bunch”.
That looks insanely delicious.
i’ll have bread pudding any day with vanilla icecream. ill have to try adding bannanas.
Sounds delicious! The sliced up bananas look a little weird, but I like weird
Glad you parted with the recipe because when I saw the picture on the previous post it really caught my attention. Can’t wait to try it….
Wow. That sounds so good right now. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
OMG. Like the layers.
