2 cups day-old bread, cubed (about 110 g) gf if desired, I used 2 Ficelle dinner rolls
1 flax egg or 1 large egg, beaten
1 cup (nut) milk (240 g) I use unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp sugar (24 g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 ripe banana, chopped (120 g)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (45 g) more to sprinkle on top

Preheat to 350F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment.
Whisk together flax/egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt.
Let the bread pieces sit in the wet mixture for 15 minutes. The longer they sit the creamier the pudding will be.
Stir in chopped banana and chocolate.
Pour into pan and bake for 40 minutes until the bread pudding gets golden.
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

To make a flax egg, stir together 1 tbsp (7 g) flax seed meal and 3 tbsp water and let it sit and thicken for 5 minutes.
