01
Step 1
Start by tearing 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.
02
Step 2
While that’s resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
03
Step 3
Once the bread mixture has soaked, add the butter, sliced bananas, brown sugar, and raisins if you’re using them. Stir everything together gently until it’s all combined.
04
Step 4
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the pudding feels set and a little golden on top.

Step 5
Let it cool a bit before serving — it’s delicious warm or at room temperature!
Why you’ll love it
This dessert is a comforting blend of creamy texture and natural sweetness from ripe bananas. It uses wholesome oats, making it a healthier twist on traditional bread pudding. The flavors are rich but not overwhelming, perfect for any time of day.
How to serve
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream complements the creamy texture nicely. Fresh berries or chopped nuts add a pleasant crunch and freshness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to restore creaminess. This pudding can also be frozen for up to a month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
