Breakfast Bread Pudding Recipes

Tastes so decadent, but is actually a much lighter variation of a classic comfort-food favorite thanks to a few changes in the "custard" mixture.

This recipe idea came to me when I had a couple of day old bagels lying around. I didnt want to waste them so I thought it would be interesting to try and make a bread pudding out of them. Any bagels will do (blueberry or apple cinnamon would be great too), but it just happened that I had 2 cinnamon raisin bagels which worked out really well.

Just a few suggestions:

*If using plain bagels, you may want to add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to your custard mixture and some fresh or dried fruits for a little more flavor.

*Most of the fat in this recipe comes from the addition of walnuts so you can omit the topping altogether, but I really like it!

*Make sure your bagels arent fresh! That will effect the texture of the finished product. If you don't have any stale bagels lying around, you can lightly toast the bagels or cut up pieces the night before and allow to sit out until they're firm.

Tastes like a dessert- eats like a meal! This is super yummy and high in protein, low in fat ! It's also easy and provides a dose of antioxidants with the dark chocolate. Best of all of you have bread( or any kind) that needs to be used- this is a GREAT way to use it and milk! Your entire family- even the picky ones- will be yumming this one down! it also makes a fabulous holiday breakfast casserole that has all the taste and non of the guilt! (Just make sure you have hot cocoa to go with it!)

Chocolate, Cheese, and Sausage are livened up by the complex interaction of chili and apple pie spices. A bit of maple syrup also hits the sweet spot!

I tried this one day and my kids liked it and asked for it again, which surprised me because last time I made bread pudding they wouldn't eat it.

This is a recipe off of the weelicious site. My kids love it so it is a regular.

For some reason no one in my family likes to eat those bread ends so I save them in a bag in the freezer and make this recipe when I have enough. My kids like to drizzle some syrup over the top. I enjoy mine plain with a cup of coffee. I usually prep the bread and have it ready in the baking pan the night before. I also prep the wet ingredients and store in the fridge overnight so that in the morning I can just throw the two together and pop it in the oven quickly.

I made up this recipe to have a filling and warm breakfast that was a change of pace.
