Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread pudding will be.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.
Bake the bread pudding until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Serve the bread pudding warm or cold. It is delicious either way.
