I often visit a local discount bread store during my lunch hour. The outlet carries nearly expired items that I use for stuffing, meatloaf, and bread pudding recipes.
Recently, I spied a few loaves of Pumpkin Cobbler bread on the “reduced shelf” and quickly loaded the loaves into my cart. After arriving home, I promptly froze the bread to have on hand for a quick Saturday morning bread pudding bake made with scrumptious cubes of pumpkin spiced loaves. The crunchy streusel-like topping puts this breakfast treat over the top. I drizzle a teaspoon of our delicious homemade maple syrup over the top of a warm slice for a bit of added sweetness.
Pumpkin Cobbler Spiced Bread Pudding
5 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups pumpkin cobbler or cinnamon swirl bread, cubed
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup cold butter, sliced into small cubes
1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray with cooking spray, a 13 X 9″ pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Place cubed bread in a large bowl and pour egg mixture over the top; gently mix and let sit for 10 minutes. Pour bread mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and pecans over the top; dot with butter. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set.
If desired, drizzle with maple or vanilla syrup. Serve warm.
Looks delicious!!

If you take it to the office, I’d imagine that you either have to take enough to give samples…. that has got to smell as wonderful as it looks.

Oh wow this looks just awesome! I’m glad you put in the sub for the pumpkin cobbler bread, as I don’t think I’ve seen this anywhere before. My daughter would just LOVE this! Did you change your blog theme? It’s great if you did, and if not, silly me for not noticing how much I like it, lol 🙂
