�OHANA PINEAPPLE BANANA BREAD PUDDING WITH BANANA CARAMEL SAUCE {COPYCAT RECIPE}

Food is an obsession of mine. Good food that is. You can keep the bad, gross kind ??
Over the past 10 years, my relationship with food has gone from one extreme to the other.  When I was 16 I hated food. I hated it because food �made you fat�. (Did you know that when I was 16 it only took 1/2 of a cheeseburger to fill me up, that is all I could eat with out feeling like I was going to explode). As I traveled more I started to try different foods and started to embrace it a little more. When I got married I went into full housewife mood and wanted to cook everything. I felt like it was my purpose haha.Big Bear and I were trying new restaurants together, we were challenging each other to eat different things. �I�ll eat this calamari if you eat that spinach�. My taste in restaurants and foods went from Bojangles and Blue Box Mac and Cheese to WolfGang Puck and BreadPudding. Which led me to want to try everything�.at least once.

What does that have to do with Pineapple Banana Bread Pudding with Banana Caramel Sauce?Everything!

Had I not started expanding my love for food, or been willing to try new foods, I never ever would have eaten anything called �bread pudding�.  Pudding made from bread� that didn�t sound good at all. Sorry. But it didn�t. But I know now, that isn�t really what bread pudding is.

INGREDIENTS

• 12 Hawaiian Bread Rolls (or any type of soft roll)
• 1 cup caramel sauce (I used caramel ice cream topping)
• 2 bananas, sliced
• For Banana Caramel Sauce:
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 bananas, mashed
• 1 -2 cups crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 pint half and half
• 1 pint whole milk
• 4 tablespoons vanilla
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 6 eggs
• Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. Cube the rolls. Toss cubed rolls into baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well.
4. Add in the half and half, stir. Stir in the milk.
5. Add crushed pineapple and mashed bananas. Stir
6. Pour milk mixture over the bread cubes and toss well. Make sure all of the bread is nicely coated. (I did have a little extra liquid so you could add more bread cubes or just discard the extra)
7. Gently press down the bread crumbs.
8. Cover with foil and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight, or until the liquid is absorbed (I let mine sit overnight).
9. Once the bread pudding is ready to bake, pre-heat oven to 325F.
10. Bake for 1 and 10 minutes hour or until set.
11. For Caramel Sauce:
12. In a medium sauce pan, heat caramel on low heat. Add slice bananas and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes or until bananas are soft. Don\'t cook this to quick or with the heat to high or you will burn the caramel.
