    How to Make Blackberry Bread Pudding

    Ingredients

    • 1 (1-lb) loaf Italian bread, cut into cubes
    • 5 eggs
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 cups milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 ½ cups fresh or frozen blackberries

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly coat the bottom of an 11×6-inch (or similar) baking dish with cooking spray.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
    3. Place half of the bread cubes in the prepared pan, scatter with half of the blackberries, and pour half of the egg mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining bread, berries, and egg mixture.
    4. Let the dish rest for 15–20 minutes so the bread can soak up the custard.
    5. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
    6. Serve warm. For extra sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup, blackberry syrup, or homemade blackberry sauce.
