Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pecan Bread Pudding
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours 15 mins
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
8 cups day old bread cubes
½ cup toasted pecans, chopped
½ cup cinnamon chips
4 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup half n half
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ground ginger
⅛ tsp ground cloves
Vanilla ice cream, optional
Caramel ice cream topping, optional
Instructions
Cut slices of day-old bread into cubes. I had some leftover sliced Italian bread in my freezer that worked great for this. Cut enough bread for 8 cups. Put the cubed bread into a greased Crock Pot (3.5 - 4-quart size or 6-quart size) along with cinnamon chips and chopped pecans.
Whisk together eggs, pumpkin, half-n-half, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Pour over the cubed bread and gently stir to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve warm topped it with vanilla ice cream and caramel ice cream topping.
Notes
If you do not have day-old bread, cut bread into cubes and bake them at 325 degrees for about 5 minutes on an ungreased baking sheet.
