Buy
a chocolate Danish roll at the grocery store or some chocolate chip muffins and
discovered you didn’t like or are already sick of them? Why not make a bread
pudding?
Bread
pudding is crazy easy to make. It’s basically a deconstructed batch of French toast
where you chop up the bread or cake, toss it with an egg and milk batter, add a
few flavorings and bake it in the oven until it’s no longer runny. It works
great as a dessert or a luxurious brunch item. This particular bread pudding
combines two of my favorite flavors, chocolate and peanut butter, but you could
use fruit flavors like apple and cinnamon or berries and lemon or lime zest
instead.
Here’s How You Do It
Difficulty Level: Easy
Prep time: 5-10 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ingredients
3 Cups of Coarsely Chopped Chocolate Chip Muffins
or Chocolate Danish
2 Large Eggs
¼ Cup + 2 Tablespoons of Smooth Peanut Butter,
divided
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
½ Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup, Honey, Corn Syrup or
Other Liquid Sweetener
2 Tablespoons of Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
1 Cup of Milk – Cow’s, Goat, Rice, Almond, or Soy
Equipment
1 Medium Baking Dish
Cooking Spray
1 Mixing Bowl
Measuring Cups and Spoons
1 Wooden Spoon
1 Whisk
1 Knife and Cutting Board
Preheat your oven to 350 0F.
Spray the baking dish
with cooking spray.
In a bowl whisk the eggs
and peanut butter together.
Add the milk, cinnamon,
liquid sweetener, and vanilla and whisk it all together to combine.
Add the chopped muffins
or Danish and mix everything together with a wooden spoon until everything is
evenly moistened.
Pour it all into the
baking pan.
Bake for 35 minutes or
until the middle is no liquidy and doesn’t jiggle when you gently shake the
pan.
Top with chocolate chips
and the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, which will melt into the
pudding and make it extra luscious.
Cool on a trivet on the
counter for 5 minutes so it’s not napalm hot when eaten.
Serve and enjoy!
