Down Home Banana Bread Pudding
"This is really tasty plus it has the blessing of being able to cut sugar and fat for us diabetic sorts. Simply replace the eggs with Eggbeaters, the milk with skim milk and the brown sugar with Splenda Brown Sugar substitute."

Wasn't bad. Followed the recipe to a T, but I found it a bit boring. I might add a caramel sauce to it like another reviewer suggested. -
This is a very unique style of bread pudding. It's not really the consistency of bread pudding, it's a bit less firm. We did use regular sandwich bread, and I'm quite sure it would be much better with a french loaf or something similiar. Great banana taste! We served it with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Yum! Next time I'm going to use a better bread and try skipping the water bath...I'll let you know how that goes! -
This was very nice. I had to use wholewheat bread, as that is all we eat at the moment. I didn't feel it made a big differance in the pudding. The banana flavor in this was very pronounced. Delicious. :) -
This was very good. It turned out a bit eggy, so maybe next time I will try a bit more milk. I thought the number of bananas would be too many, but it turned out to be perfect. Also, I made mine without the lemon peel, as I did not have any, but I don't think I missed it. I will make this again.
