Have you ever had bread pudding? It is delicious. In a muffin it is a little cup of a gratifying goodness!
This recipe has raisins and apple. If you don’t want the raisins don’t add them, if you don’t want the apples don’t add them. You could substitute pear in place of the apple with some chocolate chips. YUM!
You could even go with no fruit, but it really adds a nice extra sweetness and layer of flavor to the recipe.
Bread Pudding Muffins
Ingredients
- 8 cups bread cubes, cut into bite sized pieces (any bread will do, buns, loaf bread, what ever you have on hand)

- Beat the eggs and sugar until thick (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Then stir in the melted and cooled butter and milk.
- Stir the custard into the bread cubes and let stand for five to ten minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Stir the flour mixture into the bread cube mixture and then fold in the raisins and apple chunks.
- Evenly divide the mixture among the 12 muffins cups, using two spoons or an ice cream scoop.
