Classic Banana Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
* 4 cups stale banana bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
4. Add the banana bread cubes to the mixing bowl and toss until evenly coated with the wet ingredients.
5. Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
6. If using walnuts, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
7. Pour the heavy cream over the bread mixture, making sure that all the bread is saturated.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread pudding is set.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
10. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
Cook Time: 40-45 minutes
Prep Time: 15-20 minutes

Variations:
* Add a splash of rum or bourbon to the wet ingredients for a grown-up twist.
* Use different types of bread, such as Challah or baguette, for a unique flavor.
* Substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter texture.
* Add a handful of dried cranberries or cherries for a fruity spin.
* Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra-special treat.
* Make individual servings by dividing the mixture into 6-8 ramekins and baking for 20-25 minutes.
