French Toast Bread Pudding

Well this picture doesn't do this justice....supppperrrr yummy!!  I got this recipe from Tiff's blog - and she had a good recommendation.  I think it would be super yummy with frozen strawberries / raspberries on top of it too!!  It has the banana taste - so I think the extra fruit would make it even better.  I like that you can make it ahead of time too - and then just need to wake up and pop it in the oven!

Spray cooking spray in 8x8 dish - cut bread into 1 inch cubes and put in the bottom of the dish
4 c (about 8 slices) whole wheat bread
In bowl mix:
4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
2 very ripe bananas, mashed

Mix Well then add:
2 Large eggs (one at a time)
2 egg whites (I used this little guy-super awesome for the egg whites!)
¾ c lowfat milk
3 tbs pure maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 orange
Mix well and pour over bread, refrigerate overnight.  Heat oven to 375º - let sit for 15 minutes after taking out of refrigerator, bake for 30-40 minutes.  Top with powdered sugar.
