Ingredients
Strata:
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 medium bananas, sliced
  • ½ cup dark rum
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 (12 oz) cans fat-free evaporated milk
  • 1 (12 oz) French bread baguette, cut into ½-inch cubes
Streusel:
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (1 oz) walnuts, chopped
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Mist a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. To prepare strata, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and butter to pan; swirl until bubbling and hot. Add bananas; sauté 1 minute. Carefully add half of rum; cook 1-2 minutes. Add remaining rum, 1 cup brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt; cook 3 minutes or until bananas are soft; turn off heat and allow skillet and bananas to cool slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk to combine the half-and-half, sugar, eggs, and evaporated milk in a large bowl. Add banana mixture and bread cubes, mixing well to saturate bread with wet ingredients.
  4. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking pan. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
  5. To prepare streusel, combine flour, walnuts, and next 3 ingredients (through ⅛ teaspoon salt), mixing with a fork; mix in oil until mixture is crumbly. Remove strata from oven; sprinkle evenly with streusel. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until golden and set.
