Total Time 40 minutes mins
- 2 ripe bananas
- 6 slices day-old bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper muffin liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas until smooth. Add the 3 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Step 3: Tear the 6 slices of day-old bread into cubes and gently fold them into the custard mixture. Make sure all the bread cubes are soaked in the custard. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Step 4: Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top of the muffins for extra richness and a golden finish.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
Step 6: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
- Use day-old bread for the best texture.
- Customize with your favorite mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
