    Very Good
    Didn't use caramel sauce; just powdered sugar. Had a very nice flavor. May try with apples next time. Thanks for sharing. - 2/9/13

    Incredible!
    Awesome! I skipped the caramel and subbed in cocoa powder it was amazing! I didn't let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes but I did stir it a couple of times and let it meld for about 10 before popping it in the oven - it was still great. - 8/16/10

    I might skip the caramel topping (I am not use to eat to sweet anymore) but this sounds like a great pre-long-run/intensive-workout treat! Lots of carbs, some proteins and potassium! ;-))

    I love banana pudding but have always had it with vanilla sauce ~ can't wait to try this. I just might have to make this for a church function so everyone can try something different here in TX (they are stuck on Mexican everything). Give me good ol' down home cooking any day (I'm from OH :) - 10/15/08

    Blueberries are great in a bread pudding. You don't even need the caramel on top either. - 10/15/08

    I haven't made this but it sounds delicious. My only problem with this recipe is the carb count, 56 carbs is alot to use up on a dessert and other than the banana are any of these carbs useful carbs? - 10/15/08

    Very yummy! Incredibly decedant for something so lo-cal. I tripled the recipe and baked it in a tart dish. I'm not a big banana fan, but this was really good. I might try experimenting with different fruits the next time. - 1/14/08
