How Do You Make Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding?

Make It In The Air Fryer

1. In a medium bowl whisk together cream, pumpkin, milk, sugar, egg and yolk, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
   In a large bowl toss bread cubes with melted butter. Add pumpkin mixture and toss gently until everything is thoroughly combined.
   
2. Transfer mixture to an ungreased 6-inch round or square baking pan. Place pan in the air fryer basket. Set fryer to 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until custard is set in the middle.
   
3. In a small saucepan heat maple syrup and butter over medium heat, stirring until butter melts. Stir in heavy cream and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes.
   
4. Let bread pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving with warm Maple-Cream Sauce.

Make It In The Instant Pot

1. Place 1.5 cups of water in the inner liner of a pressure cooker. Place a steamer rack on top of this.
   Cover the bread pudding pan with foil and place the covered pan on the rack. For best results, use an aluminum or stainless steel pan. If you are using glass or Corningware, you may need to increase cook times.
   
2. Close the lid and set the pressure cooker on High Pressure for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to rest for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, release all remaining pressure.
   
3. Check the custard for doneness. If it's still not set in the middle, cook under pressure for another 5 minutes. 
   
4. Let bread pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving with warm Maple-Cream Sauce.

Can You Make This In The Oven?

Yes! I've made this in the air fryer, and in the Instant Pot, but you can also make it in the oven. To make it in the oven cook it at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the middle.

Is It Low Carb?

This Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding recipe isn't low carb by any means, but what it lacks in keto-friendliness it makes up for in tastiness. However, it is gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, and vegetarian. And let's just be honest, if you're going to splurge every once in a while and it's going to be something carb-rich, then it better be worth the carbs and calories right? This one is definitely worth it.

And have I mentioned the warm maple cream sauce yet? It's super easy to make and takes the Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding to a whole new level of awesomeness.
