Alright kiddos, I need to win the Foodbuzz/Nature’s Pride comp and get me to San Fran for the 1st Annual Foodbuzz Blogger Festival! Foodbuzz is hosting a contest with Nature’s Pride bread - you need to concoct a recipe using their bread, and six winners will be picked for a free trip (transportation + accomodations) to the Foodbuzz Festival where they will demo their recipe!
Ahhh, this is screaming my name! Can you hear it? Holly, Holly, Holly, Holly…
Here is my entry:
Pumpkin Apple Whole Wheat Bread Pudding
2 small Honeycrisp apples
1 tbsp. butter
sprinkle of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 cup apple cider
3 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp. cinnamon
a couple dashes nutmeg
1/3 cup Xagave syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 small box raisins
1/2 loaf Nature’s Pride 100% Whole Wheat Bread
In short, I sauteed the apples in butter + cinnamon. Then I mixed together the rest of the ingredients (sans bread) in a bowl. I added the apples, tore up the bread in chunks and mixed it all together. It went in the fridge for an hour to soak/cool. Then it was baked for about an hour in a 350 degree oven.
Those were totally technical directions, I know.
PRE-BAKE
POST-BAKE
Topped with some cinnamon PB, naturally.
The recipe is NOT perfected by any means. So, if I do get chosen, I will definitely be tweaking some things (i.e. adding some brown sugar, maybe some more spices?), but it was definitely a good start :).

Yum! You know it’s fall when the bread puddings get broken out! Good luck
what a great idea!
I think we both need to win – wouldn’t that be so much fun?!?
Looks delish!!
OH lord! I am still in stuffing heaven! GONNA TRY THIS..
good good luck!!!!
Yum I hope you win. Can I vote for you, or is it all up to them? Maybe you should have made the recipe call for like 10 loaves of Nature’s Pride to score some points…
Seriously, nice job just making up your own recipe. I’m always scared to do that; I think the last time I did it was when I guest-posted here!
Looks delicious! I love the idea of a healthier bread pudding that can be eaten for breakfast–especially topped with nut butter!
That looks delish! Good Luck!
That sounds amazing. I hope you win!
Bread pudding? You had me at bread pudding. It looks delicious!
how can you NOT win when your recipe looks like that?!?!
Looks yummy!

YUMMMMMM. Amazing girl. I bow down.
I have been DREAMING of bread pudding–and I just came embarrassingly close to licking my screen! OMG!
That is definitely a good start! It sounds delicious!
That looks wildly delicious!! I’ve never had bread pudding before, but a veganized version of this sounds like perfection. I’ma go ahead and say…YOU’RE GOING TO SAN FRAN!!!! We all have to send that message out there!!!! Love you!!
Ahhhh, I love it! I’m making some this weekend for my honey’s birthday – but his will be no where near as healthy as yours! I’m going to make an Apple one with Brandy sauce. (very Wisco-like I thought)
Good Luck! I hope you win!
