      I just finished making this dish. It is so yummy! Be sure to use a large enough pan because this puffed up quite a bit. Thanks for a simple but wonderful recipe!

      Hi,
      How much bread should we use? A loaf can differ in size and can throw off the results. Can I replace the 5 whole eggs with 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites? I am looking for something tasty but no high in fat. Also can the butter be replaced with cooking oil? Also can the sugar be replaced with splenda? Any substitute for heavy cream? Im trying to reduce calories.

      Thanks for your input.

      Charles

        Hi Charles,

        It will be a different recipe, but you can try it! I won't taste the same and the texture will be different.

        1 small loaf (about 16 oz)

      Hi Erica, I am making this for the second time. Love it!! Could you tell me why the bread needs to be put in fridge after being in the oven? What is that step for? If I don't wait, does that mean I can not eat it?

      Bread pudding has always been a favorite in my family. This recipe takes it to the next level for me because of the bananas. Absolutely delicious! Making a second pan with chocolate chips thrown in with the bananas. That was my son's suggestion.
