PALEO BANANA BREAD PUDDING
Bread pudding is my mother's favorite dessert, and it is about the only dessert she will actually eat. So I decided to make her a paleo version using paleo banana bread muffins instead of bread. My picky toddler liked it even more than my mom did, and getting my little monkey to eat any food is usually quite the battle, so I decided this recipe was a keeper!
When I made my mother bread pudding before going paleo I would make a rum sauce to go with it. This time I left the rum out (sigh) and made it a vanilla sauce instead. The vanilla sauce is entirely optional, but it makes a nice drizzle over the bread pudding. I poured on quite a bit because I am a big fan of vanilla sauce...and pretty much anything vanilla. I hope you enjoy this treat as much as we did!

Directions:
TO MAKE THE BANANA BREAD MUFFINS:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine the flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to combine and to break apart any chunks. Set aside.
3. Place the bananas, eggs and vanilla extract in a blender and blend until combined. Add in the coconut oil and honey and blend well until smooth. Add the flour mixture and blend to combine.
4. Pour the mixture into the lined muffin tins. You should have enough for 12 muffins. Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 23-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Place the muffins aside to cool for about 15 minutes or longer.

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Chop the banana muffins into chunks (I made about 9 chunks per muffin). Place in a greased 8x8 baking pan and sprinkle the apple and raisins over the banana bread.
3. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon and sea salt and whisk until well combined. Slowly add in the melted honey and coconut oil while whisking to combine. Pour over the banana bread and toss gently with a spoon to coat.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Cover the top with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until no liquid comes to the top when the center is gently pressed. Set aside to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
