Going Banana with Chocolate Pudding

This week I was tossing up what to cook for a dessert. I was going through my recipe collection….you know the ones you cut out of magazines or print from Facebook posts because you like the look of them.

Well, I have plenty of these that I am yet to test out. Here is one I have tested – Banana Bread Pudding.

It is a slight variation to the good ole’ Bread and Butter Pudding. I love how it doesn’t take much time to prepare and the ingredients you are likely to have in the cupboard or fridge.

This one is a good recipe on cold winters nights and an added bonus is it still tastes great even though there is no sugar in it.

Banana Bread and Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

• 6-7 slices of bread (whatever is about to go stale)
• 4 ripe bananas
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Method

• Cut bread into small cubes.
• Place on baking paper and bake at 175 degrees for 5 min to help dry the bread out.
• In a large mixing bowl, mush the ripe bananas.
• Beat the 3 eggs and add to mixing bowl along with milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir all together.
• Add dried bread to mixture, making sure to cover all pieces in the banana mix. Leave to soak for 5 – 10 min.
• Add chocolate chips to mixture.
• Stir together and spoon mixture into a large muffin tin.
• Bake at 175 degrees for 20 min.
• Once brown on top remove from oven and let cool a little.

Options

When serving add your favourite ice cream or dollop of thickened cream.

Enjoy.
