I was looking for a crockpot bread pudding recipe, but I couldn't find one. So I tasted, tweaked, amalgamated, and adapted recipes to get this one! This bread pudding can be eaten for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 8 cups cubed bread

  • 1 cup raisins (Optional)

  • 2 cups milk

  • 4 eggs

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Place bread and raisins into a slow cooker.

  2. Whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg together in a bowl; pour over bread and raisins. Toss to evenly coat.

  3. Cover and cook on Low until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 3 hours.

Recipe Tips

Toast the bread pieces for the best flavor. If you use spiced or cinnamon-raisin bread, omit the spices and/or raisins. You can substitute apple chunks for the raisins, but if you do, reduce the milk.

For a richer pudding, use a full-fat dairy product such as cream. You can use vanilla soy or rice milk, but plain soy milk will affect the taste.

You can use brown sugar or maple syrup instead of white sugar. If you want more of a maple flavor, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of maple extract or flavoring.
