Love the custard. I prefer to bake it without the roasting pan because I bake it on a loaf pan i.e. to make pot roast, and my oven isn't big enough for two. To give the bananas flavor, I caramelized them with about a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of brown sugar until they're nice and brown. I also added cinnamon and grated a bar of hershey's dark chocolate to each slice of bread to get a good textured taste.

This was really good! I used raisins instead of chocolate chips (didn't have any) and added a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon. It was so delicious right out of the oven! This is a great way to use up extra bananas and bread and I love that it uses ingredients that I always have on hand.

I thought this came out great. Only thing different I would do is use less milk next time. It was a little runny. Other than that, tasty and easy!

I changed the recipe slightly - used coconut milk instead, 3 bananas instead of 2, added cinnamon and left out all the sugar (it doesn't need it!!). I also used sprouted whole wheat bread to oomph up the nutrition. I sprinkled the top with cinnamon and a tablespoon of brown sugar. DELICIOUS!! Will definitely make this again.

I also made this recipe to use up overripe bananas and leftover French bread. I baked this in a silicon pan and it was a gift from.above, everyone raved and begs for me to make it again.

Instead of chocolate chips, I soaked raisins in brandy overnight. I also mashed an extra large super-overripe banana and whisked it into the milk mixture before adding the bread and 2 sliced (not overripe) bananas (plus a dash of cinnamon and SALT). I LOVE the simplicity of this recipe-- its the only one i could find without heavy cream and a laundry list of ingredients. So delicious, thank you!!

My room mate can not get enough of this stuff! It's a really easy thing to quickly throw together and then wait for it to cook while reading. Good heated up later too.

I'm going to give this recipe the benefit of the doubt and give it 5 stars. I doubled the recipe (but only used 6 eggs) and baked it in a 9x13 pan at 350 for 60 minutes. The taste is good, but I think that doubling the recipe made too much liquid and it's a little goopy to me. Next time I'll reduce the milk too. It was a nice way to use up leftover bananas!
