This dessert is almost bread pudding like in texture (If I did it right lol) The bananas make this so moist that Twissis and I thought maybe 1/4 lb (1 stick) of butter was enough. I used pecans and maraschino cherries. It was delicious hot out of the oven and would have been great if I had vanilla ice cream on hand. I recommend serving this while slightly still warm from the oven. We served it up with cool whip, coconut and a few sliced almonds, it was yummy! Thanks for sharing Twissis. Brenda (Nick's Mom)

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
