One of my favorite holiday recipes is bread pudding and honestly I was always a little intimidated to make it, but after doing some research about making bread pudding, it is actually surprisingly simple and with a few easy changes can be pretty diet friendly. For this recipe I used chocolate chips, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bananas but it would definitely also be delicious with apples or cranberries. We liked it so much we ate it right out of the pan as you can see in the picture.
