What is the Best Way to Eat Bread Pudding? Guilt-Free Of Course!
Oh my, do we have a scrumptious breakfast item for you this week using our delicious grain free bread! This easy bread pudding recipe is delectable, and surprisingly low carb. A culinary delight that goes great with your morning coffee or tea. And since we are using our cinnamon spice loaf that we introduced last fall, plus cocojune yoghurt, the recipe is also gluten-free and dairy-free. Seriously, a cacophony of healthier ingredients can be found in this luscious treat. Which is fantastic since, traditionally, bread pudding ingredients tend to cause a bit of a riot in your gut. Carbs and sugar galore to mess with your blood sugar. But who says breakfast needs to wreck our bodies?
Lots of people crave sweets in the morning, but beginning the day with copious amounts of sugar is never a good idea. Those messy blood sugar levels will leave you fatigued, unable to concentrate, and irritable later in the day. But! This dish is actually low sugar. We rely on natural sweetness – not processed, refined sugars – to enhance our recipes, making this a healthy option for breakfast. It’s also replete with fiber and protein, making it a great way to balance your gut and still enjoy something tasty.
Now, many people hear bread pudding and think of autumn. The warmth from cinnamon probably reinforces this correlation, but this dish can easily be enjoyed all year round. For example, right now we are in the middle of spring so we chose to compliment the pudding with the tartness of blueberries, making it a perfect seasonal recipe. You might enjoy this one so much, you will want to share with friends and family. Have people coming over? Need a dessert that is low effort? This recipe is your answer! A simple, gluten free recipe that’s a crowd pleaser or perfect for an intimate gathering. Be prepared to leave others in awe as they savor a moist bite of your amazing dessert.
So please, revel in this bread pudding that provides the joys of spring with guilt-free ingredients. The perfect twist on a classic recipe to savor on any occasion.
Ingredients (fills three eight-ounce ramekins):
- 3 cups Plantiful Kitchen Cinnamon Spice Bread
- 2 large Eggs
- ⅓ cup Almond Milk
- ⅓ cup Dairy-Free Yoghurt, plus more for topping (we used Cocojune Yoghurt plain)
- 4 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup Blueberries or Chocolate Chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, almond milk, yoghurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until homogenous.
- Soak your bread in the mixture, then add the blueberries and fill the three ramekins. If you are in a rush, the mixture can be added to the ramekins right after adding the bread. If you have some time on your hands, soak the bread for around 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Top with some more cocojune yoghurt and fresh berries. Enjoy!
