I made this from Reader's Digest too - very good! Since I'm following the South Beach Diet, I substituted "sugar free pancake syrup" for maple syrup. I also used walnuts instead of almonds & unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of regular milk. It almost has a bread pudding consistency. Will definitely be making this one again!

I got this same recipe from Reader's Digest, and it is fabulous! I used mixed berries and sugar, but I drizzled it with about two tablespoons of maple syrup after baking. The flavor was wonderful...the bananas really make the recipe. Easy and just as good reheated the next day.
