This Banana Bread Breakfast Casserole is the perfect sweet breakfast recipe or easy dessert! Put those brown bananas to use with some leftover bread in this bread pudding casserole that’s ready in an hour.

Normally I’m a savory breakfast fan, but sometimes you just need a little sweetness in the morning. Enter Banana Bread Breakfast Casserole! It’s just like a bread pudding, but it’s acceptable to eat before noon. 

If you’re like me, you’re always buying fresh produce just to never finish it all. No matter how hard I try, I always end up with a couple very brown bananas. This is the best recipe to use them! And, like bread pudding, it’s a great way to use the last of some almost stale bread.

Breakfast or dessert? Your choice! I’m going with breakfast here. I’m obsessed with breakfast casseroles for a couple reasons. One being they are so easy to make with minimal prep work and no babysitting a hot stove. They are also an awesome way to use up your leftovers!

    You don’t have to add toppings unless you want to. I drizzled some maple syrup (the real stuff — try Maple Lifestyle!) and added a dollop of vanilla yogurt on top.

    What I Used For This Recipe

    How To Make It

    1. First, preheat the oven, and prep your baking dish with cooking spray.
    2. Then, mix the torn bread pieces and banana slices in a large mixing bowl.
    3. In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs, evaporated milk, water, and brown sugar. Pour it over the bread and bananas, and toss until everything is coated.
    4. Finally, pour the mixture into the prepped baking dish, and bake until golden brown on top. I like to garnish mine with maple syrup or vanilla yogurt!

    Can I Make this Breakfast Casserole in Advance?

    Absolutely! You can easily make this casserole the night before and simply wake up and bake it on Christmas morning.

    Mix everything together and add it to the baking dish. The bread will absorb even more flavor overnight! Then, simply let it come to room temperature on the counter while you preheat the oven.

    Now, you can spend the morning with your family while the oven does all the work for an hour!

    How to Store Leftovers

    Honestly, we rarely have leftovers of this sweet breakfast casserole for more than a day. I usually have another slice after dinner — it’s THAT good.

    You can store this casserole in the fridge up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave in 15-second intervals, or pop it into a warm oven. 

    If you want to freeze it, I recommend doing so before baking! Be sure to cover it with plastic wrap and foil for the tightest seal. You can keep it frozen for up to 2 months. It’s perfect for holiday mornings or last-minute house guests.

    What To Serve With This

    If you’re planning a big brunch, you’ll want to add these cheddar dill muffins to the menu. They’re perfectly savory and great for snacks! 

    There’s no more impressive breakfast dish than a quiche lorraine! It’s full of flavor with bacon, cheese, cream, and eggs. 

    Double up on the sweetness for Christmas morning with this eggnog breakfast casserole! It’s a great stress-free breakfast that’s super rich with eggnog and croissants.

    Drizzle pancake syrup on top.
