Banana Pecan Bread Pudding

I have to admit, I really don't like bread pudding.  I usually don't like the taste or texture....but I LOVE this one!  To me, traditional bread pudding tastes like wet bread (no offense to those who enjoy that).  However, this recipe has changed my whole perception on bread pudding.  It has the consistency of french toast, it's soft but still has crunch from the toasted pecans, it's sweet and drizzled with maple syrup.  You can have this for breakfast or dessert and it's best served warm.
