Brown Sugar and Maple Bread Pudding might sound a little confusing, but this warm bread pudding is the best way to use any leftover or stale bread and still get rave reviews from anyone you serve the maple bread pudding recipe.
Similar to cinnamon rolls, when making our version of bake bread pudding, it can stand on its own and fill up your family. But, it can also be a great addition to any other protein you like to serve for breakfast.
All you will need is your favorite bread, I find that French bread works great since crusty bread holds its shape a bit more, then some additional maple syrup, and a few additional ingredients to make the delicious bread mixture.
Let me suggest a few more amazing breakfast options that you can make on a special occasion like Christmas morning, give these a look!
