What You Need

To make vegan bread pudding, you’ll need a few simple ingredients and tools.

First, gather your stale bread. It helps absorb all the flavors and provides great texture. You can use any bread you like, as long as it’s vegan.

Next, you’ll need non-dairy milk. Almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk are all good choices.

You’ll want some sugar. Brown sugar or white sugar works, depending on your taste preference.

Vanilla extract will give your pudding a nice flavor.

Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg are common for adding warmth and richness.

For added texture, you can include raisins or chopped nuts.

To bind everything, you’ll need a flax egg (one tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with three tablespoons of water).

Tool Requirements

You’ll need a few basic tools to make vegan bread pudding. Having a good setup will make the process easier and quicker.

You’ll need a mixing bowl. This will be used to combine all your ingredients.

A whisk or a spoon is essential for mixing. You can use either one depending on your preference.

You’ll need an oven-safe baking dish. This is where the pudding will bake. Make sure it’s the right size so the mixture doesn’t overflow.

A knife or kitchen scissors will help you cut the bread into pieces of the proper size.

A measuring cup and spoons will help you measure out ingredients accurately. This ensures your pudding turns out just right.

An oven is necessary to bake the pudding. Make sure it’s preheated to the right temperature.

Lastly, you will want a serving spoon to dish out your delicious vegan bread pudding once it’s ready to enjoy.

Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather all your ingredients. You will need bread, plant-based milk, sugar, a bit of vanilla extract, and some cinnamon.

Cut your bread into cubes. Day-old bread works best since it absorbs the mixture well. Make sure your pieces are around the same size.

Next, pour your plant-based milk into a bowl. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well until everything is mixed smoothly.

Once your bread cubes are ready, soak them in the milk mixture. Let them sit for a few minutes until they get soft.

Serving Suggestions

• You can serve vegan bread pudding warm or chilled. It pairs well with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
• Drizzle some maple syrup or agave nectar on top for added sweetness. Fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries also make a colorful addition.
• Try adding a dollop of coconut whipped cream for a creamy touch.
• Dense bread puddings taste great with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. If you want a bit of crunch, add some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
• For extra flavor, try a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving. If you like citrus, a bit of lemon zest can add a fresh twist.
• Serve it in small bowls or ramekins for easy portions.

Enjoy experimenting with your favorite toppings!

Storage And Reheating Tips

• After you’ve made your vegan bread pudding, you might have some leftovers. Store the pudding in an airtight container. This keeps it from drying out.
• You should refrigerate your leftovers. They’ll stay fresh for up to five days if stored this way.
• When you’re ready to reheat, the oven is a good choice. Preheat it to 350°F. Place the pudding in an oven-safe dish. Cover it with foil to keep it moist. Heat for about 15 minutes.
• If you’re in a rush, the microwave works too. Put a serving on a microwave-safe plate. Heat it for about 1-2 minutes. Check to make sure it’s warmed through.
• Add a splash of plant-based milk before reheating to keep it from drying out. This works well for both the oven and microwave. Enjoy your tasty bread pudding anytime!
