Banana Bread Pudding for One {recipe}

banana bread pudding

My sweet tooth gets the best of me WAY too often…which is why I’m always looking for healthier ways to satisfy it =) One of my favorite sweets is bread pudding, but making it is usually a long process that leaves me with a week worth of leftovers (which I’ll consume within the first two days…) You can only begin to imagine my delight when I came across this healthy bread pudding recipe on The Vegan Stoner recently, I knew that it was an immediate MUST TRY.  I made a few modifications to the recipe, including cutting down the recipe to a single size serving 😉

Banana Bread Pudding [for one]

INGREDIENTS

  • one banana
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar
  • 1.8 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 slices of bread (your choice, I used sprouted wheat)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
  1. METHOD
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cut banana into thin slices and toss with brown sugar, set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat coconut milk, sugar and vanilla extract (just until a very light simmer).
  4. Add bread to pan, allow the bread to soak in the liquid for one minute.  In a small baking dish (or divided into two ramekins), add a layer of bread, then banana slices, bread again, then more banana slices.
  5. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until top is light golden brown.

Remove from oven and drizzle a bit of melted butter on top (optional).  Bon appetite!

    1. Cynthia,

      I don’t see why not, it’s worth a shot! Since you’re only making a single version, I suppose it won’t be the worst thing if it doesn’t turn out so hot =)
