How to make Pumpkin Pie Bread Pudding
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread crescent dough sheet to cover the bottom of a large baking dish. Trim sides if necessary. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
Fill baking dish with bread chunks and press down to fit. Pour melted butter over bread.
In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, coconut milk, almond milk, 1 cup brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and remaining teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until well mixed.
TIP: We made this recipe dairy free, but feel free to substitute regular milk if you prefer.
Pour milk mixture over bread chunks and press down with a spatula to ensure that all bread is coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow bread to soak up liquid.
Spread 1 cup of canned pumpkin over baking dish, then turn bread to incorporate pumpkin.
Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar over top and bake for 1 hour at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Top your pumpkin spice bread pudding with ice cream or whipped cream – best enjoyed warm.

I am going to have to try this this year. We love pumpkin pie and I haven’t had bread pudding in a long time. No harm in making both right?
Ann says
I adore bread puddings and fall desserts, so this is absolutely my kind of meal! Such a nice combo of flavors. This pudding is perfect for fall, and the recipe is so easy to follow. I especially like that it’s dairy free. I’m eager to give this pudding a try and gonna follow your instructions precisely. I’ll probably make it for our party this week. Really in the mood for something like this and hope my friends will enjoy it. Thank you for sharing this with us Stacey!
p.s. Look forward to trying your other awesome recipes with pumpkin. I’ve just saved a couple of them for later.

Could you make these in small ramekins? I’m looking for desserts I can make individually for Christmas this year…thanks!
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Yes, you could do this in ramekins, so long as they are oven-safe. You’ll need to adjust the cooking time — probably 20 minutes or so and keep an eye on them. Let me know how it goes!
