It’s time for Blueberry Maple Bread Pudding!  You can do a delicious bread pudding without guilt and it’s quick and simple too!

When was the last time you had bread pudding? I know, right!  In our family, we always talk about the delicious bread pudding my grandfather used to make. On the other hand, I’m always bookmarking the good looking ones I come across online but I never ever get around to making them.

Bread pudding doesn’t have to be unhealthy and if you substitute maple syrup for sugar, your result is an even more delicious flavour. I picked these fresh blueberries from Barrie Hill Farms.

This dish couldn’t be any easier. Simply combine your ingredients, whisk well and pour over your bread pieces. If you can let it sit in the fridge overnight – perfect.  If you don’t have the time, however, a couple hours will do. A little time in the oven, add some more fresh blueberries and almonds and you’ve got yourself breakfast, brunch or a delicious snack. I’ve included the option of adding a little lemon or orange zest if you like as well.
