Bread Pudding with Bananas

Using really ripe bananas and stale bread,
this is considered an Italian peasant dish.
I added some dried raisins but no sugar,
the bananas and the raisins are sweet enough.
Actually almost to sweet, if serving with
whipped cream don't add any sweetener.

Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas
1 cup dark raisins
1 1/2 cups milk, or more
4 eggs
4 cups stale Italian bread
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
In a small bowl place raisins,
milk and vanilla extract.
Crack eggs in another bowl,
whisk and add to milk.
Cut crust away from bread,
slice into 1" pieces or cubes.
Place bread in a large bowl,
pour milk and egg mixture over it.
Stir to combine and let sit 10 minutes.
Peel bananas and cut into 1" pieces.
Add to bread and mix in.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour bread mixture into a buttered
baking dish, pat the top down and
sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Cover and bake one hour or until done.
