Chocolate Chip Bread Crust Pudding

Don’t throw out those leftover bread crusts…make bread pudding!

We recently shared the decadent Overnight French Toast Bake, which is so delicious and a must make for your next special occasion breakfast. After making that, we had a bunch of bread crusts left over, and I’m not a fan of wasting food if I don’t have to. So what to make with a bunch of leftover bread crusts?! Make chocolate chip bread crust pudding! It’s so good and so easy. We topped it off with a little warm homemade buttermilk syrup to take it over the top.

I know there are a bunch of moms who are constantly cutting the crusts off of sandwiches every day, and if you happen to be in that category, this can be a great way to put those leftover bread crusts to good use! So next time you find yourself cutting crusts off a PB&J, add those crusts to a freezer bag and freeze until you have enough to make this. Or you could also try a small mug cake for one. I still have yet to try making a mug cake or a mug bread pudding, but I’ve always wanted to. Have you tried it yet?

Do you love bread pudding? It’s our favorite! The buttermilk syrup on top was a happy surprise!

We made a quick video so you can see how quick it is to mix up.
