My husband is a huge fan of bread pudding. Something about the warm, succulent texture combined with cool and creamy ice cream puts him in a happy place. Bread pudding is the ultimate comfort food. But when I tried to cut gluten from my diet, I was stuck with a big dilemma.
How to make gluten free bread pudding? Even better… how to make a gluten free banana nut pudding?
I looked at my recipe for Pecan Caramel Apple Bread Pudding but wondered about how to substitute gluten free bread.
Honestly, the strange ingredients it takes to bake a gluten free dessert intimidates me so the idea of creating a gluten free bread… It wasn’t going to happen. I needed something simple.
But what about the Udi’s Gluten Free Classic Hot Dog Buns on my counter? The texture is perfect for a bread pudding recipe. Nice and sturdy… and ready to absorb some delicious flavor and turn into delicious, warm Gluten Free Banana Bread.
Of course… if you have known me for long, you know I never make the same recipe twice and needed to add a little creativity.
Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread Pudding
I had no idea that making a gluten free bread pudding was so easy! And who can resist the amazing flavors of banana nut? YUM!
- 4 Udi's Gluten Free Classic Hot Dog Buns, cut into cubes (about 7 cups)
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups milk, warm
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Sprayed a large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and place bread cubes in the dish.
Stir together bananas, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over bread, making sure all of the bread is soaked evenly.
Sprinkle with nuts, gently pressing some nuts between the bread cubes.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, if desired.
