Ingredients

  

• 1 slice bread (cubed)
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup milk
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a ramekin with cooking spray or a touch of oil.
• Prepare the bread: Place the cubed bread into the ramekin. Add raisins or nuts if desired.
• Mix the custard: In a small bowl, mash the banana thoroughly. Whisk in the milk, beaten egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
• Combine: Pour the banana custard mixture over the bread cubes in the ramekin. Press the bread gently to help it soak up the liquid. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
• Bake: Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
• Cool and serve: Allow the bread pudding to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Quick Microwave Option:

If you prefer a faster method, microwave the ramekin on high for 1-2 minutes, checking at 30-second intervals until the custard is set.
