Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of bread cubes (day-old brioche or challah)
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
  • ½ cup of heavy cream
  • ¼ cup of granulated sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bread: Cut day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. Make the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in mashed bananas until well combined.
  3. Assemble: Grease a 6-inch pan and layer the bread cubes evenly at the bottom. Pour the banana custard mixture over the bread and press down gently.
  4. Prepare Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Set your filled pan on top, covering it with aluminum foil or a silicone lid.
  5. Cook: Seal the lid tightly, set valve to 'Sealing,' and pressure cook on high for 25 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes before performing a quick release.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the pan from the Instant Pot and let it cool slightly. Garnish with sliced bananas, maple syrup drizzle, or powdered sugar before serving.
