Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2013
I gave this recipe a 3/5 rating as a good base recipe but I also did not follow it exactly. What I learned about this site is that most of the recipes can be tweaked to your liking for a better result. Many of the recipes that I followed exactly were a bit disappointing. What changed was I used mini chocolate chips instead of the standard size. I also used 3 small bananas and decreased the sugar amt to 2\3 c. I also added some nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. In the directions, it says to cut the bananas up and mix them in, however I pureed the bananas in a blender until smooth and then added eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix. While mixture combined, I put the bread pieces in the baking pan and then when the liquid was ready, poured the banana mix over the bread. I sprinkled some chocolate chips over the mix and let set for 5-10 min then baked. The banana pudding came out awesome! Not too sweet and every bite had a little banana taste. I would recommend blending the bananas in a blender first so as to get a smooth texture.

The taste was excellent, but it was a little too dry.

Just baked it. I substituted about 2/3 of the sugar with Splenda. I used 1% milk. And I used 3 small thawed out mushy bananas. The rest was exactly as suggested. Amazing result. Beautiful to look at and extremely tasty.

Very easy and delicious. Ended up with a nice custard that held together and could be easily sliced into squares. I used a sourdough bread, and I think it balanced the flavors - not overly sweet by any means. Brought it into work and it was gone FAST with overwhelmingly positive comments. Will make again. **These were my adjustments, based on what I had in hand at home: -I doubled the recipe due to the amount of bread I had. I used a half a loaf of sourdough sandwich bread. It worked out to be about 9 1/2 c of large cubes. -Bananas: I defrosted about 2 1/2 cups of bananas I have on hand in the freezer. As my bananas brown, I peel, slice them and freeze. -Milk: I used 16 oz of skim milk and 1 can (12 oz) of evaporated milk -Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla, Chocolate Chips -- doubled amts in the original recipe. Ingredients only needed to soak for about 10 minutes. I baked the item in a 9x13 metal pan (sprayed w/Olive Oil), as per waterbath instructions, for about 50' - knife came out clean. The pan cooled on my counter overnight and I easily sliced the dessert into squares this morning.

This was super easy to make. I used half amount of sugar after reading some of the reviews, and to make it a bit healthier used whole wheat bread and soy milk. Also didn't have chocolate chips but cut up some baker chocolate instead. Came out super yummy! Can't believe how easy it was to make. Definitely will make it again!

This bread pudding set up well and had that nice creamy-but-not-runny texture you want from bread pudding. I never thought I'd say this, but there was too much chocolate. The melted chocolate clumped in places and overtook the flavor of the pudding making it so rich it was almost inedible. Another change I would make would be to mash half the bananas before adding. While I enjoyed the banana flavor, I think mashing half would give this recipe extra creaminess while adding a delicate banana flavor. Instead this tasted strongly of baked bananas - a flavor that can also be overpowering.

Awesome - my first bread pudding and first attempt at at water bath - awesome! Added 1 extra banana and 1 additional egg and used hot dog buns (after some research). Out-freaking-standing! This will become a holiday recipe and I thank you much for sharing it : )
