Ingredients

  • 2 c milk
  • 1 1/2 c pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 c white sugar
  • 1/2 small orange, zested
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • pinch salt
  • 8 c white bread cubes, cut roughly 1"
  • 1/2 c wheat bran (optional, for extra fiber and nutrition)
  • Caramel sauce (for topping)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, sugars, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt in a medium bowl. (I like to use my 1 qt measuring cup for easy pouring.)
  2. Grease the bowl of a 2.5-3 qt slow cooker. Combine bread cubes, bran (if using), and milk mixture in the greased crock pot. Stir to combine, until all the bread is evenly moistened.
  3. Cook on high for 2 - 2 1/2 hours or on low for 3-4 hours. The pudding is done when the bread is puffy and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (The internal temperature should be around 140F.)
  4. Serve immediately, or keep warm until serving. Top with caramel sauce if desired.
