    I have a thing for nutella, which is funny because I don't eat chocolate ever. But there is something about the hazelnut that does it for it. It's floral and aromatic, I would wear it if I could.

    So I figured I would rekindle our love for nutella and Europe and make a very modern twist to nutella and croissants. I had a few over-ripe bananas left over and whipped up a quick bread pudding mixture.

    Frangelico was key and zests of orange to cut some of the sugar. I also wanted an excuse to use these cute little blue Le Creuset pots.

    Nutella and banana swirled together and dripped off the sides. The eggy mixture fluffed up the croissants and created a gorgeous crusty texture with a souffle like feel on the inside. Gosh...I need to make this again and again.

    Ingredients

    • Croissants
    • Bananas 
    • Nutella
    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Cinnamon
    • Nutmeg
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Almond Extract
    • Frangelico Liqueur
    • Orange

    Instructions

    1. Cut croissants in half and spread each with nutella and banana. Close croissant and cut in thirds or quarters.
    2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and almond extract, frangelico and orange zest.
    3. Place croissant quarters in baking dish and pour egg mixture over making sure all the bread is covered well. Cover with foil and allow to soak for 30 minutes.
    4. *I used individual baking dishes and put 3-4 quarters in each. You can also use a 9x13 baking dish and pour everything in.
    5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes covered with foil. Remove foil and continue to bake for additional 10 minutes.

        Yes you can! Use day old croissants if you can, it'll soak up better!

      Looks great and I shall have to try it.

      But just on the P.S. Frangelico is hazelnut liqueur, not almond.

      I told the wife these sound absolutely scrummy. She said, you'll be eating them all yourself, they're a death trap.

      Bread pudding with croissants... Must be really buttery and delicious! I love banana and nutella too! Quick question: I am not a fan of almond flavor, any good substitute for Frangellico?

        Thanks for the comment 🙂 My next idea would be to add Grand Marnier (orange liqeur) instead of the Frangellico. Orange and chocolate go so well together and with the orange zest, that would pair nicely!

      I love that you posted a banana nutella recipe too! Although yours is so much better than my granola. Care to trade? 🙂
