Healthy Bread & Butter Pudding

By: Lisa Holmen

This bread and butter pudding recipe calls for skimmed milk or a plant-based milk to make it a healthy option. Use an unrefined sugar like coconut sugar to provide a natural sweetness. The pudding is best used with bread which is at least a day old so it keeps its integrity and doesn’t get too soggy.

Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 slices of bread, crusts removed
  • 15g unsalted butter, softened
  • 75g raisins
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 400mL semi-skimmed dairy or plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 3 tbsp unrefined coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Fresh nutmeg & cinnamon, to serve

Method


  • Lightly grease a large ovenproof casserole dish with olive oil.
  • Brush the bread with melted butter on one side, then cut into triangles and arrange a layer of bread on the dish, butter side up. Sprinkle some of the raisins and cinnamon over the bread and repeat until all the bread is used up.
  • To make the custard, heat the milk gently in a pan over low heat. Be careful not to boil or it may curdle. Add the vanilla essence. Place the eggs and sugar in a small bowl and whisk slightly, then pour over the milk. Continue to stir until the mixture is to the desired consistency, then strain.
  • Pour the custard over the bread and leave to soak for at least 20 mins, then sprinkle with extra cinnamon and nutmeg if desired.
  • Preheat oven to 170°C and bake for 30—40 mins until golden. Serve immediately.
