This sweet Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Microwave Bread Pudding is perfect for when you don't feel like baking and you want a small portion. It's also a great recipe to use up leftover bread.
Even though this vegan bread pudding is sweet and listed in my dessert category, it would be perfect for brunch as well.
A mix of banana, peanut butter, and almond milk makes the bread all soft and gooey, just what you'd expect in a bread pudding.
Chocolate chips are sprinkled throughout creating pockets of chocolaty goodness. Slices of banana are layered in between cubes of bread creating more gooey sweetness.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It's sweet and rich. It will satisfy your sweet tooth.
- It's healthy and comforting.
- It's a great way to use up stale bread.
- It is perfect for a late-night craving when you want dessert without having to bake.
🧾 Ingredients
- Bread: I used gluten-free brown rice bread. Use your favorite bread.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk because I like to control the amount of sweetener. You could also use full-fat coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, or other non-dairy milk.
- Banana: I used a ripe banana. A variation without banana is my Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Microwave Bread Pudding.
- Peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter. You could also use shelf-stable peanut butter. You could also use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, date paste, or brown sugar.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
- Chocolate chips: You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Add almond milk, ½ of the banana, peanut butter, maple syrup, and salt into a high-speed blender or Nutribullet.

Step 3: Slice the bread into small cubes. Place half the bread cubes in a microwave safe dish.
Step 4: Top with the rest of the banana.
Step 5: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Step 6: Layer more bread on top.
Step 7: Layer more bananas on top.
Step 8: Pour the banana peanut butter mixture on top. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top. Let sit 2-3 minutes.
Step 9: Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Step 10: Microwave for 2 minutes. Let sit for 2 minutes.
💭 Tips
- You may want to mix the banana, peanut butter, and almond milk without sweetener first. You may not need maple syrup if your banana is riper than mine.
- Let the bread sit for 10-15 minutes in the banana-peanut butter mixture before heating it up so that the bread soaks up the liquid. Even though gluten-free bread is quite dense, it soaks up a lot of liquid.
- If you're a fan of almond butter, use that instead.
- Remember that all microwaves are different, so cooking time will vary slightly. You may need more or less time than I did.
- If you want to make several bread puddings at once, I would suggest placing the ramekins on a baking sheet. Then put them in the oven at a low temperature. You could also make a large bread pudding in a casserole dish.

This was SO delicious!! I followed your exact recipe and I don't think it was too thick at all. It was nice and creamy and the flavors were great! My husband ate two bowlfuls and wanted more. We had plenty for leftovers. Thanks--this is a keeper!
