CINNAMON-RAISIN BANANA BREAD PUDDING

Cinnamon-Raisin Banana Bread Pudding image

My family likes to change the toppings for this luscious dessert. We use berries, chopped nuts or fruit, ice cream, whipped cream or caramel topping. If I'm making the dessert for adults only, I love to add a little rum to the milk mixture to give the pudding extra flavor. -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho
