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!

First, before storing the leftover maple pudding, let it cool down to room temperature to avoid it getting super soggy from the trapped heat. Then spoon pudding that is left into an air-tight container or you can also leave the bread-custard mixture in the pan it was baked in and place the lid on top of pan and let it chill in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

This was the best bread pudding I've ever tasted. It is sweet enough to be used for dessert. I love that you don't have to put the pan in a heat bath to cook like some recipes out there yet it wasn't dry at all. The only change was that I threw in a small handful of craisins. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! You have the best recipes!
