Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13” glass baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.

Step 3

Add heavy cream, melted butter, milk, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Whisk until combined.

Step 4

Mash bananas with a fork. Then add the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts to the egg mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Slice bread into bite sized pieces. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Pour egg mix over bread and toss to mix evenly. Allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Bake for 1 hour or until the center of the bread pudding is set (bread bounces back slightly when pressed) and the top is evenly browned.

Step 8

Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired and serve warm.
