Monkey Bread Pudding

I saw this on one of those Tasty Videos on facebook. You know the ones. Here's what I saw...

It made my Mouth water... Right?!

Thank you Tasty Bakers!!!

I think, "pppbbbbfffffthttht... I can do that!" And off to the pantry I go...

I checked out their recipe and it seemed about right. I DID add more bread. but to be fair, I used fancy I-Talian bread, so that may have had a bearing. But still, 4 bananas, 3 eggs, AND a cup of milk? thats a lot of liquid! You'll have to decide for yourself. I added more bread.

Here is the ingredients list. Copy and save it to your gallery

for easy access in the kitchen on the go!

This is pretty easy, On the Bakermadness Scale of Difficulty we rate this project 2.0 Spatulas. Kids could help! I put it all together in about a half hour plus bake time.

DO THIS:

Start with the Bread. Preheat your oven to 250*F. Cube your slices and bake 'em. 5 mins? 10 mins? till they're done. No Coloration. just dry them out. Now put them in a bowl and, as they say... set aside.

I used a fanschy shmanschy italian loaf.

beautiful shot, huh?

Next, in a different bowl smash your nanners and then mix in your eggs, your milk, cinnamon, and the 2 overflowing teaspoons of vanilla. Stir that up.

In a 3rd bowl, you should have combined some chocolate chips and some nuts. I used whatever I had which amounted to a few 60% cocoa, a few semi-sweet, and some butterscotch just for the hell of it. Provided you are not cursed with a nut allergy, throw some in. I used rough cut pecans, but I think almost any nut would do... I mean...

Goodness.

Okay- Pour the egg and nanner goop over the bread cubes. add the nuts and chocolate chips and stir it all up a bit. Now let it sit there...i don't know how long. 15 minutes or so? It was awhile ago and my wine glass is empty again, anyway... let the bread really soak it up.

Pre-treat a muffin tin with some spray oil or whatever you like to use. I used nasty ass canola, cause I had it. I'll try to do better next time. Now scoop your mixture into the muffin tin. You can pile it up a bit because these won't grow like a cupcake. 

It will look like Gaak. Yeah.

Bake those babies at 350* for...

oh damn...

Probably 20 minutes... maybe longer. Check them at 10 minutes and rotate.

They will be deep golden or even brown when done.

Let them cool in the tins for about 5 minutes.
Use an offset spatula or the back of a knife to help.

In the fancy ass "Tasty" video, they served this hot out of the oven with Ice Cream... Yum!

I didn't think that far ahead so, no Ice Cream. Also? Didn't even make a drizzle. I think we just ate them plain... But Look at them! They were dry and crisp on the outside but moist on the inside, right? and the flavor, WOW!

So yeah, make mine from here <<OR>> Click on the Tasty Link itself. You can just as easily as I can. I mean... why do I have to do everything?

But ya know what? get ice cream for these. srsly.

I mean... I was a hero, but I could have been a super hero.

Oh well.

Make This.
