Rising up my Grandma was KNOWN for her out-of-this-world bread pudding. Severely…no exaggeration right here. In truth to this present day, she nonetheless makes it on particular events for my Dad as a result of its his absolute favourite and at all times extremely requested, so in honor of his birthday this week I believed I’d make him a few of my very own!
Lightened-up, in fact.
Blueberry and lemon are two of my favourite taste mixtures so it was a no brainer to include them right into a bread pudding. This recipe is frivolously sweetened, which is how I at all times desire my desserts, with honey and a bit brown sugar. I additionally added a contact of vanilla and naturally some lemon zest! I imply who doesn’t love dessert for breakfast?? I do know I positive do….particularly when a single serving is barely 240 energy and 4 grams of fats for a whole heaping bowl!
Now that’s a win-win.
The perfect form of bread for that is thick entire wheat crusty bread and even day previous bread. As soon as I combined every little thing collectively, I let my bread combination sit within the fridge for no less than an hour to soak all of the scrumptious flavors up, however if you’re operating low on time a great 10 minutes would work simply wonderful. Now this bread pudding (in my view) tastes nice proper out of the oven with none extra toppings , however for those who want a bit one thing strive including a dusting of confectioner’s sugar on prime or perhaps a lemon glaze. I didn’t add this to the recipe as a result of I didn’t wish to add any extra sugar to one thing you would possibly make for breakfast, however right here is an easy, but scrumptious glaze that might be superb drizzled on prime!
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp confectioner’s sugar + 1 Tbsp contemporary lemon juice = whisk collectively till a pleasant glaze kinds
After all you’ll have so as to add about 45 extra energy to every serving, however for those who’re making this for dessert then I say go for it! Why not? Not solely would this style completely scrumptious, however it will hold your bread pudding good and moist too!
Joyful Birthday Dad!
