5 cups white bread, baked & cubed
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs, beaten
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp almond flavoring
1 tsp cinnamon

Streusel topping
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts

1/2 cup brown sugar

Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 lemon, zest & juice
1/2 tbsp rum flavoring
1/4 cup hazelnut coffee creamer

Place bread cubes in a mixing bowl. In another bowl combine bananas, eggs, condensed milk, sugar, vanilla, almond and cinnamon. Mix well and pour over bread cubes. Stir gently to soak bread. Pour into a sprayed 8 inch square baking pan. Combine streusel until crumbly. Sprinkle over bread pudding. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

While pudding is baking, combine sauce and cook in a double boiler for 5 minutes. Serve bread pudding warm with warm sauce.
