"Bread" Pudding


For this recipe I use my Banana Walnut Muffin Cake as the bread element
http://home-cooked.blogspot.com/2012/05/banana-walnut-muffin-cake.html
Wait five days after baking Muffin Cake so its a little dry and absorbs the custard

        

          Ingredients
  • 3cups of cubed muffin cake (2 cupcakes= 1 cup)
  • 5eggs(beaten)
  • 2 cups of milk (whole or half and half it’s not supposed to be healthy)
  • 3tsps of Bourbon vanilla extract
  • 1/2cup brown sugar
  • 1/4cup Walnuts(optional) 
  • 1 cup of white sugar (granulated)
  • 1/4cup butter (half a stick)



  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. Grease a 9 inch round pan
  3. Mix eggs, milk, and white sugar in a bowl; add bourbon vanilla; pour over cubes and let sit for 20 minutes
  4. In another bowl mix brown sugar and butter; then add walnuts
  5. Pour pudding mixture into greased pan
  6. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over the top of the pudding
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes
  8. Let rest for 10-20 minutes
  9. Serve hot or cold with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream or both
