Description
A healthy twist on the classic New Orleans bread pudding, made with whole grain bread and reduced sugar for a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole grain bread, cubed
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add bread cubes and raisins to the mixture. Stir gently to coat evenly.
- Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
- Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and the pudding is set.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use stale bread for better texture.
