Ingredients:

• Bread Pudding:
• 1 loaf (about 16 oz.) day-old French or Italian bread,* cubed
• 4 cups milk
• 5 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Crunchy Cinnamon Topping:
• 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 3/4 cup butter, cut in small pieces
• Serving suggestions (optional):
• Whipped cream or frozen whipped topping, thawed
• Caramel ice cream topping

Method

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease pan. Prepare Bread Pudding: Place bread cubes in pan and spread them out. In large mixing bowl combine milk, eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined then pour over bread cubes in prepared pan. Gently toss bread cubes so that they are all covered in pumpkin mixture. Set pan aside for about 15-20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. While bread is soaking, prepare Crunchy Cinnamon Topping. In medium bowl combine brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, and cinnamon. Mix well. Cut in butter until mixture becomes coarse crumbs. When bread has finished soaking, sprinkle topping evenly over bread. Bake bread pudding for 35-45 minutes at 350 or until knife comes out clean and bread pudding is puffed and slightly crispy on top. Remove bread pudding from oven, and set aside to cool slightly before cutting. Serve bread pudding warm or cold. Top bread pudding with whipped cream and warm caramel topping, if desired. *If bread is still fresh or soft, arrange in a single layer on one or two baking sheets. Bake bread cubes for 10-15 minutes at 350 or until light brown and toasted. Set aside to cool.

Notes: The same great flavor of pumpkin pie, but serves a lot more people than 1 pie! This dessert can be made ahead of time, chilled and reheated.

Number of servings: Serves 12-16
