Ingredients

1 large loaf french bread ($1.49)

1/4 cup raisins ($0.56)

15 oz can pumpkin puree ($1.29)

1 cup packed brown sugar ($0.34)

2 lg. eggs ($0.24)

1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice ($0.15)

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon ($0.15)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla ($0.42)

2 cups milk ($0.49)

Instructions

1 Cut a day old loaf of french bread into one-inch chunks. Place the chunks in a large glass casserole dish that has been coated in non-stick spray. Sprinkle with raisins.

2 In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Stir until evenly combined. Whisk in the milk.

3 Pour the pumpkin/milk mix over the bread cubes and give it a gentle stir to coat the cubes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Let the bread cubes soak in the pumpkin mix as the oven heats.

4 Bake the bread pudding for 40-45 minutes or until the center has set (poke with a toothpick, it should come out clean). Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, vanilla yogurt or caramel sauce.
