Ingredients
🍞 PB&J sandwich trims (or use 6 whole sandwiches)
🥛 1 cup warm whole milk
🍚 1/3 cup sugar
🥚 4 eggs
🍦 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
🌿 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
🥜 1/2 cup peanuts (optional but highly recommended)
🥪 1/4 cup peanut butter (to drizzle)
🍇 1/3 cup jelly (to spread)
🧈 Butter spray or soft butter (to grease the oven-safe dish)
Instructions
1- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C). Grease an oven-safe dish with butter or butter spray.
2- Cut and Arrange:
- Cut the PB&J sandwich trims into small pieces and evenly distribute them in the greased dish, ensuring there are no empty spaces.
3- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, then mix well.
4- Add Peanuts:
- If you're including peanuts for added crunch, scatter them over the trimmed bread pieces in the dish.
5- Combine:
- Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread and peanuts in the dish. Press down with a spoon to ensure all the bread pieces soak up the mixture.
6- Bake:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pudding achieves a golden brown color.
7- Prepare Peanut Butter:
- Place the peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe zip bag. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds until melted.
8- Finish:
- Spread the jelly evenly across the top of the baked pudding. Cut a small tip off the corner of the zip bag and drizzle the melted peanut butter over the jelly-topped pudding.
9- Serve:
- Enjoy your bread pudding warm or cold, as desired.
