Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Liberally grease a 2 quart baking dish (8X8 inch pan) and set aside.

Step 2

Add the slightly dried-out bread to a large mixing bowl. Gently toss bread with melted butter to thoroughly combine. Add the chocolate chips and mix combine. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, making sure the chocolate chips are dispersed throughout.

Step 3

In the same bowl the bread was in, mash the bananas. Add the eggs and whisk well to combine. Add the milk, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk again to combine.

Step 4

Pour the egg custard mixture over the bread, making sure all the bread is covered. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top, if desired. Let the bread sit for 15 minutes before baking for the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 5

Bake on the middle rack for 50 minutes - 1 hour. If the top is becoming too brown before the pudding is cooked through, loosely tent foil over the top for the last 10-15 minutes. The bread pudding is done when a knife inserted in the middle doesn't come out wet, but the bread is still moist.

Step 6

Cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes, before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream and refrigerate any leftovers.
