Banana Pudding Bread



This bread turned out extremely great. The pudding adds extra moistness to the bread and the tastes of banana, vanilla pudding, brown sugar and cinnamon combined, give this bread extra great flavor. My adorable other half made this fabulous bread. He makes great breads and he knows just what spices to add. He totally made up this bread and we both thought banana pudding bread suited it best.

Banana Pudding Bread

1 1/2 wheat flour
1 c. white flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. brown sugar

Combine all these together, then add in seperate bowl:
3-5 bananas mushed or 1 1/2 c.
1 box of vanilla pudding (follow directions on pudding package)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
add these with dry and mix until muffin consistancy. Spray bread pan and bake at 350 for about 50 to 60 minutes. Test middle with toothpick to see if done.
