1) Arrange half of bread cubes in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch pan. Sprinkle evenly with cream cheese and bananas; top with remaining bread cubes.
2) Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, butter, and maple syrup; pour over bread mixture, pressing bread cubes to absorb egg mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours.
3) Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 minutes more or until lightly browned and set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
