Maple Flavored Bread Pudding Recipes

MAPLE-FLAVORED BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring syrup and milk just to boil in small saucepan on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; set aside. Beat eggs in large bowl with wire whisk or fork until well blended. Gradually add hot syrup mixture, beating until well blended after each addition. Stir in toasted bread cubes and the pecans.
• Pour into greased 1-qt. casserole dish.
• Bake 20 min. or until center of pudding is set. Serve warm topped with the whipped topping.

CREAMY MAPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole or baking dish.
• Place the bread cubes into the prepared pan. Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, syrup, sugar, flavoring, nutmeg, and salt together. Pour over the bread cubes and let sit for 15 minutes to absorb the liquid. Press the cubes down into the liquid if the edges are dry.
• Bake the pudding for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the nuts and sugar. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the pudding has puffed up and is light brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes-the pudding will sink as it sits; that's OK. Serve immediately, or reheat before serving.
