Can I claim that this is the Easiest Bread Pudding recipe when, in fact, I’ve never made a different recipe in which to compare it??
Just like any recipe, I wouldn’t share it if it wasn’t easy to make. I’d actually never attempted Bread Pudding until recently when I:
- Had a bag of leftover pancakes in my fridge and
- Needed something special to feed a large group.
So I did a little research, then adapted and created this. It’s a huge hit!

This is truly a great option to make with leftover pancakes. I find that re-warming pancakes isn’t as tasty as serving them fresh off a griddle. So to cut them up and douse them in this milk and egg mixture to make Bread Pudding? Such a perfect idea!
The soccer team enjoyed this treat, as did our family. Are you a Bread Pudding fan?
Yes, I LOVE bread pudding and find it to be such a flexible dish! I don’t measure anything, just tear up whatever bread I have on hand (I’ll stick old bread into the freezer just to save it for this!), blend up a few eggs, some milk, and whatever flavors/sweeteners I want, pour over the bread and bake! Some of my favorite flavor combinations are cinnamon custard with raisins, chocolate custard with white chocolate chips, matcha custard with dark chocolate chips, and cinnamon custard with blueberries. My two year old loves helping me tear up the bread. One time he and I ate almost the whole pan before we even got it in the oven. ?
