Simple Bread Pudding

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Old Recipe Revival!

Are you down for a super easy + simple bread pudding recipe for this week? (Whether or not you are, it’s all I’ve got so just bear with me. <3) I’ve made bread pudding a couple times in the past (Autumn Harvest version vs. Chocolate Banana Bread version) but I’ve never made a super plain + classic one, so what better time than now to start?

Trish and I actually made this the morning after we had our epic New Year’s Eve feast a couple months ago (the one where we made Instant Pot Short RibsChili Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Pear and Fig Baked Brie Dip)! :O We had a rather stale half-loaf of French bread left so we figured we might as well do something with it!

We also found some dried walnuts + cranberries to throw in here, but you could use any kind of nut/dried fruit you wanted to change it up! (Yay for using up things in the kitchen and reducing food waste!)
