Creating Easy Banana Bread Pudding is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large bowl, add the cubed bread. Set it aside while you prepare the custard.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the banana mixture over the cubed bread. Gently stir until the bread is evenly coated.
5. Add Extras: If desired, fold in raisins or nuts for added texture and flavor.
6. Transfer to Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the pudding to firm up a bit.
9. Serve Warm: Serve warm on its own or topped with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
