Crock-Pot Banana Bread Pudding
Bread puddings are easy to make and can be served for breakfast or lunch and some even as a dessert! This recipe brings the flavor of banana bread in a bread pudding.
You can make bread pudding using regular bread, but it will not have the same consistency. I found that a hard crust bread like French bread works the best. Slice the bread and then cube it to use in this recipe.
If you prefer to cook this in the oven. Use a well greased 9×13 pan. Preheat the oven to 375. Follow the recipe using the baking pan instead of a crock-pot. Cover the pan with foil and cook for 40 minutes or until the center has set.
