Easy Banana Bread Pudding Using Ingredients You Already Have in Your Kitchen

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UC Berkeley chapter.

The grocery items that usually end up spoiling the kitchen are milk, bread, bananas and eggs. What better way to use them all up than by making a simple, yet delicious, banana bread pudding? Customize your final product by adding your choice of toppings, ranging from chocolate chips to nuts.

#SpoonTip: Use healthier versions of the ingredients to cut back on unnecessary calories. Think whole wheat bread, low fat milk and non-fat Greek yogurt.
