Banana Bread Pudding

Sweet, creamy, warm comfort food. Bread pudding, but better–with banana bread instead of regular bread, and filled with even more sliced bananas inside. And whipped cream on top. Want some? First, bake some banana bread. Use this recipe, or your own favorite.


How to make Banana Bread:

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup ripe mashed bananas
1/3 cup softened butter
2 tablespoons buttermilk (can substitute milk)
2 eggs
1/3 cup chopped pecans





In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add mashed bananas, butter, buttermilk (or milk), and eggs. Using a mixer, beat well. Stir in nuts; pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350-degrees for about 50 minutes.


Stop and eat a piece of banana bread. You know you want to.

How to make Banana Bread Pudding:

1 loaf banana bread
2 bananas
1 cup half-and-half
2 cups milk
4 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla





Slice and cube banana bread. Grease a 9-inch pie pan. Spread half the cubed banana bread in the pie dish. Slice the two bananas on top. Cover with the other half of the cubed banana bread slices.





Whisk half-and-half, milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl. Pour over cubed banana bread and bananas in pie dish.


Using a spoon, squish the banana bread at the top down to make sure all of the pieces get into the creamy goodness. Let sit for about 10 minutes then bake at 350-degrees for 50 minutes. Top with whipped cream. Eat it before dinner. Because you can.

Oh yeah. That moving thing? It snowed. And snowed. I submitted to the forces of Nature beyond my control. I stayed home and packed and dreamed of a day when the stars will align correctly and I can move into my new house. Banana Bread Pudding was a huge comfort in the midst of more disappointment. Huge.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
