# Instructions:
01 -
Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
02 -
Place the bread chunks in a large mixing bowl and leave them aside for later.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, sugars, milk, and cream together until smooth.
04 -
Add bananas and pour the wet mix over the bread pieces. Gently stir everything until the bread absorbs the mixture.
05 -
Spread the combined bread and egg mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Cover and chill in the fridge overnight.
06 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Put the dish in and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until it's as firm or soft as you like.
07 -
While the casserole cooks, mix together the cinnamon, flour, and brown sugar in a bowl. Mash in the butter chunks until you’ve got a crumbly topping.
08 -
Take the baking dish out just before it’s done and sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top.
09 -
Put the casserole back in and bake it for another 5 minutes, or until the topping melts and sets.
10 -
Serve while warm, and drizzle with syrup if you’d like.
