BANANA BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING (no sugar!)
  • Serves 8
Author Notes

Bread pudding is my husband's favorite dessert. He loves bananas too so I created a pudding just for him. Bananas and then more banana. He is careful about his sugar intake so I added NO sugar to this recipe! The bananas are so sweet and the cinnamon and one whole tablespoon of vanilla so fragrant that there is no need for any sugar. The addition of sliced almonds gives the pudding a little final crunch. Delicious for breakfast too!!!

Please don't publish "reviews" from those who have not made the recipe. Uninformative and misleading when a reader expects to base a menu decision at least in part on the experiences of others.

Beautiful. I don't bake but I steam the pudding in a pressure cooker for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Wonderful! My sons just love the pudding and my wife adores the pudding. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have prepared this pudding. I don't get Brioche bread but I use Wheat bread. Thank you.

Yum! So smart to use the banana and raisin as a sweetner too - this would make a great breakfast bread pudding too! Or a brunch one. With mimosas. :-)
