Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 medium bananas, sliced
  • 1 loaf (about 1 lb) sliced unfrosted firm cinnamon bread
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Powdered sugar, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and walnuts until smooth. Gently stir in bananas. Spoon mixture into baking dish.
  • Step 
    2
    Reserve ends of bread for another use because they don't soak up the egg mixture very well. Arrange 2 layers of bread on banana mixture, tearing bread to fit if needed.
  • Step 
    3
    In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk and vanilla with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over bread. Cover tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
