Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of pumpkin bread cut into 1.5-inch cubes* (~8 cups)
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Topping

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

  • Place the pumpkin bread cubes onto a baking sheet and let them sit out overnight for best results. You want the pumpkin bread cubes to be a bit dry so they soak up all of the custard. If you don’t have time to let the pumpkin bread sit overnight, let them sit out for at least a few hours.
  • Grease the bottom of a 7x10-inch casserole dish or a deep, 9-inch round pan with butter. Add the pumpkin bread cubes into the dish and set aside.
  • Add the eggs to a large bowl and whisk. Add the whole milk, whipping cream, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to the egg and whisk together until combined.

  • Pour the egg mixture over the pumpkin bread and use a spatula or your hands to push the bread down so it is covered in the egg mixture.

  • Cover and place the bread pudding in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and then prepare the topping. Place the pecans, butter, and maple syrup into a bowl and cut them together with a fork. Pour the pecan mixture over the top of the bread pudding.
  • Place the bread pudding in the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the top of the bread pudding is toasted.
  • Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Notes

  • We used a loaf of our pumpkin bread without chocolate chips, but you can use whatever loaf of bread you would like.
  • Feel free to use a Dutch oven instead of a casserole dish.
