Why You'll Want This Again
A comforting and nutritious way to use up ripe bananas and leftover oats. It combines natural sweetness with a soft, custardy texture that feels both indulgent and wholesome. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, it’s easy to make and satisfies a variety of cravings.
Directions
Tear the bread into small pieces and putting them in a large bowl. Add the oats and milk, then give everything a good stir. Let it sit for about 30 minutes so the bread can soak up the milk. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Once the mixture has rested, stir in the melted butter, mashed bananas, brown sugar, and raisins if you’re using them. Pour everything into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the pudding is set and golden on top. Let it cool a bit before digging in!
