Introduction

An egg-free batter made with chickpea flour and almond milk makes the perfect soaker for bread pudding (and French toast). I used my mom's (freezer-burned) Holiday Brioche, so of course it's not vegan, but using your favourite vegan fruit loaf it's 100% there!

Ingredients

    2 cups whole milk
    1 cup half and half
    ½ cup chickpea flour
    2 tbsp custard powder
    ½ cup sugar
    1 tbsp vanilla
    ½ tsp salt
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    ½ tsp nutmeg
    4 cups day old bread (I used Holiday Brioche, but would also suggest something like cinnamon raisin, a good French loaf or even honey-wheat bagels), torn or cubed - about 8 slices of a store-bought loaf
    1 cup raisins
    ½ cup Craisins
    ½ cup yoghurt chips
    ½ cup chopped mixed nuts
    1 tsp turbinado sugar

These freeze well too!


Directions

Place a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F.
Whisk together the milk, chickpea flour, custard powder, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.
Add the bread, raisins, Craisins, yoghurt chips, and nuts. Fold into the milk mixture, then set aside for 10 minutes.
Spoon soaked pudding into 6 (1-cup) wide-mouth jars or ramekins and sprinkle the tops of each bread pudding with sugar.
Place jars into a deep roasting dish (that can be covered) and place on the oven rack.
Pour boiling water into the pan to come a third of the way up the sides of the jars.
Cover and bake 40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the puddings comes out mostly clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes in the water bath, then remove with tongs.
If not serving within 2 hours, cover and refrigerate.
Serve the puddings in their jars - Warm, room temperature, cold, or reheated individually for a few seconds in the microwave - but always with two spoons and someone to share with!
