Bread pudding has to be the ultimate comfort food dessert . Add pumpkin and this dessert will melt your worries away (not that I am encouraging emotional eating;).
So instead of saving that loaf of day-old bread to feed to the ducks (which you know you’ll never actually do), put that bread to good use and make pumpkin bread pudding.
The method is simple: toss bread cubes with some melted butter; pour over a mixture of milk, eggs, pumpkin and spices; and bake.
The recipe I used is from the blog Smitten Kitchen. I even followed Deb’s modifications for an even simpler recipe because, you know, comfort food should be simple.
The recipe.
I think this recipe would also make excellent pumpkin French toast — any takers?
After reading your post I decided to make this a few nights ago! It was a huge hit with both Paul and the boys. Caleb even had some for breakfast the next morning! Thanks for the inspiration!

Great! I am so glad everyone liked the bread pudding so much. I was amazed at how easy it was to make and am looking for a good opportunity to make it again.
