Four for the 4th: Banana Bread Pudding

I'm finally getting a chance to sit down and write this after a busy weekend of golf, good music, and friends. I saw John Mayer at Summerfest in Milwaukee last night, which is something that has been on my bucket list for a long time now. He put on a great show and after hearing some songs off his upcoming album I can't wait or August 13th. In the middle of writing this post I found a Rolling Stone piece on it. Check it out if you're interested. I didn't know it was his first big performance in two years, but it makes it that much cooler to have seen it.

Back to food though - I haven't forgot about the last recipe! I didn't get a good picture of it for multiple reasons but I figured I would at least get the recipe up until I can. The base of the dessert is made up of Granny's Banana Bread, which is great because it uses no oil and to keep the fat and sugar down even more I replace the eggs with egg whites and use 2/3 the sugar. Feel free to do it either way though.
