Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, melt butter in microwave; stir in brown sugar, cream, spices and, if desired, pecans. Add bananas; toss to coat. Transfer to an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Arrange bread over top.
Place milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a blender; process until blended. Pour over bread. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375°. Remove casserole from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes. To serve, invert onto a serving platter.
