Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 6 cups day-old bread, cubed
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
3. Add the mashed bananas and mix until well incorporated.
4. Fold in the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are coated with the mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak up the liquid.
5. Transfer the bread mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving, optionally drizzling with extra maple syrup.

Notes

Tip: For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture.

For the best results, use a sturdy bread like challah or brioche, as they hold up well in the custard mixture. If you want to switch things up, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor.

To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can easily reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven for a quick treat!
