Bread Pudding - Vegan recipe hero image

Bread pudding has always held a special place in my heart, reminding me of family gatherings where we’d savor every bite together.

I love that this recipe can take any leftover bread and turn it into a delicious treat—plus, it’s so easy to whip up!

My little tip?

Use a variety of bread for extra texture and flavor; I like mixing whole grain and a touch of something sweeter, like challah or brioche.

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using leftover bread for this recipe, but if you don’t have any, you can buy day-old bread from the store. Stale bread works best because it absorbs the liquid without getting mushy. You could also switch up the spices—try adding a little cardamom or ginger for a twist!

Tips & Notes

  • •I like to let mine sit for a few minutes before serving; it makes cutting easier!
  • •If you want a creamier texture, add a splash more almond almond milk before baking.

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes I'll throw in dark chocolate chunks if I'm feeling fancy.
  • •You can also swap out the dried fruit for nuts or seeds for a different texture.

Storage & Freezing

This bread pudding keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just cover it tightly, and you can reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven. It’s great for a quick breakfast or snack!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh bread instead of stale?

You can, but stale bread holds up better and absorbs the liquid more effectively. If you only have fresh bread, you might want to toast it a bit first.
