How to Store Banana Bread Pudding

If you have leftovers (although that’s rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. You can also reheat it in the microwave for a quick treat.

Tips to Make Banana Bread Pudding

  • Use day-old bread to prevent it from getting too soggy.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste—add more cinnamon or omit the cloves if you prefer.
  • For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or dried fruits.

Variation

You can switch things up by using different types of bread, such as challah or brioche for a richer flavor. You can also substitute walnuts with pecans or leave out the nuts altogether.

FAQs

1. Can I use stale bread for this recipe?
Yes, stale bread works great, as it soaks up the custard mixture better!

2. How can I make it dairy-free?
Use almond or coconut milk instead of whole milk and replace the heavy cream with a dairy-free alternative.
