- 1 loaf banana bread
- 1¼ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup french vanilla coffee creamer (optional) you can substitute this with milk

Spray your baking dish with baking spray (cooking spray with flour) or butter it very well.
Break your banana bread into bite size (but not too small) pieces and place in the dish
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup with a spout, whisk eggs and ground cinnamon to combine. After the cinnamon and eggs are well combined, add in the milk, coffee creamer, and sugar. Stir until well blended.
Pour egg mixture evenly over the banana bread pieces. Pat down the pieces that are on the top so they absorb some of the egg mixture.
Now, cover securely and refrigerate overnight or for at least several hours.
