Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Stale bread is really just another excuse to make another dessert. And in this case, bread pudding!

 

Because it's fall, I thought that it would be fitting to make a pumpkin one. Personally, I would have preferred more pumpkin spice, but you add yours to taste. And so without further ado, here is the...

Pumpkin Bread Pudding Recipe

5 cups cubed bread (I used bagels)
4 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (more or less)
pinch of salt
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup of pumpkin puree

1. Butter an 8x8 inch pan, then place the bread inside.

 

2. Whisk up the other ingredients in a bowl until smooth.

 

3. Pour the milk mixture over the bread. Let soak for about 20 minutes, mixing occasionally.

 

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.

 

5. Serve. Yum!

 

A bit of milk or cream helps to cool it off, and a squirt of whipped cream on top adds the finishing touch! (That, and I added a pinch of pumpkin pie spice as well. :))

 

Have you made any autumnal treats lately? I hope that you enjoyed them!
