Go ahead…dip your spoon into the warm custard, lifting out layers of sugary sweet banana and fluffy, cream soaked cinnamon bread….leftovers never tasted so good.
Preheat the oven to 325° F. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, eggs, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
Butter the bottoms of each ramekin. Divide three tablespoons of butter, placing a small pat in each ramekin. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar into each ramekin.
Arrange the bananas over the sugar, followed by bread. Soak with some of the custard mixture. Repeat with another layer of banana, bread and custard. Press the bread into the custard to ensure it soaks up the liquid. Sprinkle the tops with any remaining sugar.
Cover the ramekins with foil and place in a baking dish in the oven. Pour boiling water into the baking dish, filling halfway. Bake for 30 minutes, uncover, then bake for another 30 minutes.
Serve the bread pudding warm with drizzle of caramel sauce, and if you’re feeling especially indulgent, a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
