Recipe- Easy To Make Bread Pudding

Bread Pudding has got to be one of those classic dishes that everyone has had at some point or the other – am I right? I recently saw a picture my niece (no agist comments please) had posted of a luscious divine bread pudding my cousin had made and mannnnnnn… you get the picture. But with birthday season (it’s a thing in this house) upon us and Christmas fast approaching the indulgence factor had to be dialed down and so I whipped up with this Bread Pudding with Liquid Stevia that hit the spot without putting me into a food coma!

It comes together in minutes which is always a plus and since I use coconut sugar and Scintillating Cinnamon Flavorall to flavour it it will make for a guilt free breakfast for my little girl who was negotiating the number of pieces I actually “need” for pictures with me. Perhaps if they are extra good I will put a scoop of fro yo on top and call it dessert!

Now let’s talk sweeteners shall we? As you all may now I am not the kind of person to scoff at desserts – far far from it in fact, just ask my former skinny jeans. What I have become more aware of – especially as a mom – is the sugar creep, the extra treat that becomes more frequent, the cereal that you caved on, the desserts you can’t help but bake because it is cold outside.

Ingredients

6 slices whole wheat bread torn into big chunks
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup coconut sugar (can use brown)
4 eggs
1 1/2 - 2 cups milk (see note)
1/2 tsp Greeniche Flavorall in Scintillating Cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnut pieces
2-3 tbsp coconut sugar
Fresh Fruit
Lightly whipped cream
Greek yogurt
Maple Syrup

Method

* Preheat oven to 350, use a tbsp of the butter to generously grease a 9*9 dish.

* Place the torn bread chunks into the buttered dish.

* Melt the remaining butter and combine in a bowl with the eggs, sugar, Scintillating Cinnamon Flavorall, milk, and salt.

* Pour the mix over the pudding and bake for 30-40 minutes until the centre is firm to touch.

* Serve cut into squares with any of the fun topping ideas.

* Dry Roast Walnuts in a clean frying pan until they smell toasty - this makes them less bitter too!

*Add 2 tbsp of coconut sugar and stir quickly - the coconut sugar will become deliciously sticky.

* If you think you need more add another tbsp, let cool and scatter over the pudding when ready to serve.
