Wheat Bread Pudding a la’ Praline

Old fashioned bread pudding with a different look and the same amazing taste (less a few calories).

Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a loaf of wheat French bread
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup splenda
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • A few pralines (optional and indulgent)

Directions

Step 1

Tear the wheat bread into small pieces in a 9x13 or 8x8 pan.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Combine with the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla. Pour the mixture over the bread pieces.

Step 3

I like to place the mixture aside or in the refrigerator and let the wet ingredients be absorbed into the bread before baking. This step is optional, you can bake immediately if you prefer.

Want to be a little decadent and give up all the calories you saved by using splenda and wheat bread? Before baking the pudding, break pecan pralines in a ziplock, then take the crumbles and spread over the bread mixture.

Step 4

When ready to bake, bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes to an hour.
