Instructions

Prepare the Bread Pudding

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the cubed banana bread, sliced bananas, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips.

Mix the Custard

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture over the bread and gently fold until combined.

Bake

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.

Add Toppings

In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle additional mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs on top. Return to the oven until the marshmallows are toasted.

Serve

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Make sure to serve while warm for the best taste!

Storage Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers (though that’s hard to imagine!), storing S'mores Banana Bread Pudding is simple. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to three days, preserving its delicious flavors and textures.

When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick treat. You can also pop it back in the oven for a few minutes to restore the crispy topping and gooey interior, just like when it was freshly baked.

Variations to Try

While the classic combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and bananas is hard to beat, feel free to personalize your S'mores Banana Bread Pudding. Consider adding peanut butter chips for a nutty twist or using different types of bread, such as cinnamon raisin, to enhance the flavor profile.

For an adult version, a splash of rum or bourbon can be added to the custard mixture for depth. Additionally, you can substitute the chocolate chips with caramel or butterscotch chips to create a whole new flavor experience. The possibilities are endless!
