I was really excited about this one, but felt it fell short in my opinion. I love bread pudding and thought the addition of banana would be great. Instead, I found that the banana pieces that ended up on the top of the dish got brown, and there wasn't enough flavor. Maybe it needs more vanilla or heavy cream. I did use a mixture of skim milk and some half & half that I wanted to use up, and I skipped the sauce (I never eat sauce on my bread pudding). It is probably better with the sauce, but for me to give bread pudding a top review, it needs to be able to stand on its own.

I'm not fond of bread puddings but made this for guests and it was great. The pudding itself isn't overly sweet but the sauce gives it the sweetness it needs. Served with vanilla ice cream and it was delicious. Might try it with hot fudge in addition to the vanilla sauce and ice cream -kinda a Banana Split Bread Pudding!
