Banana Bread Pudding image

When I visited my grandmother in summer, I always looked forward to the comforting banana bread pudding she'd make. With its crusty golden top, custard-like inside and smooth vanilla sauce, this pudding is a real homespun dessert. Now I make it for my grandchildren. -Mary Detweiler, Middlefield, Ohio

A nice alternative to traditional bread pudding. I'm not a huge fan of bread pudding but this was good. I think that coconut rum would be wonderful in this dish.
