Ingredients

  • 8 cups bread cubed
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 15-ounce can Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar + 2 Tbsp
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Sauce
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice and 1 cup of sugar. Stir in the raisins, then gently fold in the bread cubes. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 2 Tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle on top the bread pudding, cover loosely with buttered foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with the pecans and bake until the top is golden and the center is set, 20 to 25 minutes longer.
  • While the bread pudding is baking, make the caramel sauce.
  • In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, simmer until the sauce thickens, for about 5 minutes. Pour over bread pudding to serve. Top with vanilla ice cream.
  • * If you can leave bread cubes out for a few hours so they get nice and dry. If not, just place them on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until they’re dry but not toasted.
  • * You can make this the night before and pop it in the oven for breakfast – it actually gets better if it sits overnight!
