We have always loved bread pudding. There is something about the softness and sweetness of the bread that soaks up whatever flavoring you add to it that just makes bread pudding always a winner in my book. A good bread pudding starts with stale, dry bread to soak up the creamy, eggy goodness that is sweetened with sugar and vanilla usually and honestly if that’s all you do, that can be enough.
Now add some maple syrup, pecan and butterscotch chips along with some brown sugar to the mix and your bread pudding becomes a scrumptious, decadent treat! It takes planning to make bread pudding. First you need day old bread. I love bread so I always cut a piece off and slather it with butter. My little treat to myself.
Bread pudding is always best served warm. If you have any leftovers slice it and just pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds then drizzle some extra sauce on it. It will be just as delicious as it was when it first came out of the oven.
Maple Pecan Butterscotch Bread Pudding will make about 8 servings but it is on the rich side so if your family and friends don’t complain you might be able to get away with cutting the slices a little smaller and getting away with a few more servings. I can’t get away with that in my family!
So when your looking for an easy and delicious treat to make for your next dinner party or to take to your next gathering think about making this bread pudding. It can easily be doubled and warmed up when you get to your destination. Then just add your toppings when you get there.
