Bread pudding is by far my husband’s favorite desserts. Each time I make this I definitely earn “brownie points” with him!
This version of bread pudding with amaretto sauce has become our household favorite.
By adding the bananas and soaking the bread in the milk/egg mixture, the final result becomes a moist and delicious pudding. Additionally, by soaking the raisins they become a plump and juicy addition. I hope this becomes a favorite in your home like it is in ours.

Thanks! My fiancé is an amazing cook but me, not so much! I made this today for dinner so he didn’t have to cook. It was great! Easy enough for this inexperienced cook and tasty enough for his experienced taste buds! I added A super reduced balasmic on top since we use it for Caprese salad and it baked onto The chicken really well. This recipe is a keeper! Any idea for a balsamic Like sauce to go with it?
Me says
Awsome! Just be sure to use unsalted butter. Wow! Learned that the hard way. Lol

I’ve never had Bread Pudding, but this looks delicious! It’s looks great by itself, but do you serve anything with it? Definitely giving a try!
Patti says
It’s the perfect dessert served with the Amaretto sauce, but any sliced fruit would go well with the Bread Pudding too! Hope you enjoy it! – Patti

My mother made bread pudding when I was a kid. She would put pineapple in it. I think she would love this with the amaretto sauce, and I think I would as well! Your husband knows the good stuff 🙂
