Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

4 oz 113gCrustless 2-day-old whole-wheat bread - torn or sliced
  Into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons 30mlRaisins - chopped
1 cup 237mlEvaporated fat-free milk
1 cup 237mlLow-fat (1%) milk
2   Eggs
1/4 cup 40g / 1.4ozDark brown sugar - (firmly packed)
2 teaspoons 10mlVanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlNutmeg
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGrated orange or lemon zest

Recipe Instructions

Spray an 8- by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the bread pieces evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle with the raisins.

In a medium bowl, beat together the milks, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and zest. Pour the mixture over the bread and refrigerate 30 minutes, periodically pressing the bread down with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Pull the oven rack partly out. Place a large roasting pan on the rack; add the filled bread pudding pan. Carefully pour 1/2 inch boiling water into the roasting pan. Bake until the pudding is puffed and golden brown, about 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes; serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 1 piece.
