Easy Slow Cooker Bread Pudding Recipe
I have always been a big fan of bread pudding and for this extremely easy bread pudding recipe, I decided to make it in my slow cooker. That’s right, bread pudding in a Crock-Pot which is as simple as adding diced bread cubes, pouring an egg and milk mixture over the top, and then let your slow cooker get to work. Fun fact: There’s no melted butter in this recipe. Since I used brioche which is a buttery bread, and there’s 4 eggs + milk, you don’t need to add any butter which is a nice way to save a few calories without sacrificing flavor. Topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar, or better yet with whipped cream or ice cream, this is a great dessert for brunch, Mother’s Day, graduation parties, or summer holidays. It’s nice that you don’t have to turn on your oven and heat up your house during warmer months!

How to Make Bread Pudding in a Crockpot
Eating this bread pudding warm and soft straight from the Crock-Pot is great but I like to top it with a bit of whipped topping, whipped cream, ice cream, or even pair it with another strawberry dessert if I have extra berries on hand to use. I’ve never cooked this recipe on HIGH heat so my guess is about 2 hours, but I think low and slow is the way to go here. Resist the urge to lift the lid and “peek” at what’s happening inside your slow cooker multiple times because every time you lift the lid, the hot air escapes, and it unnecessarily then lengthens the total cooking time.
