Banana Bread and Butter Pudding
Found this recipe the other day, I like to do it with whole sugar (unrefined)
or honey or maple syrup in place of the sugar.
Dates in place of (or as well as) the raisins, and all the dairy, eggs and banana's organic!
BANANA BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
A gorgeous variation on the classic. Add chopped walnuts, dried apricots or figs for extra texture and richness. Serves 4
5 slices wholemeal bread, crusts removed
25 g (1 oz) butter
50 g (2 oz) sultanas or raisins
3 bananas, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs
45 0ml milk
Preheat oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas mark 4. Butter the bread slices, and cut into large chunks. Combine the bananas and sultanas, and place half the mixture in a medium ovenproof dish. Combine the sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle one third over the fruit. Cover with half of the bread, then the remaining fruit, and another third of the cinnamon–sugar. Place the rest of the bread pieces on top, with the buttered sides facing up. Beat the eggs and milk together, and pour over the bread. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top, and bake for 30–40 minutes, until set.
