Heavenly Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding Muffins
- 7 cups Stale Bread (white, French, Etc) Cubed
- 1 cup Cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 Tablespoons Salted Butter, Melted And Cooled
- 4 whole Eggs
- 2/3 cups White Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line or grease 12 muffin cups.
- Chop bread into bite size (about 1 inch) cubes and place in large mixing bowl. Combine milk and cream, and pour over bread. Mix bread with cream and milk, then allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes (the older and more stale your bread the longer it may need to sit in order to soften up).
- While bread is resting melt butter in microwave, and then place in refrigerator to cool. Combine eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat lightly. Beat in cooled butter. Pour over bread mixture, and mix gently to combine.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. Pour over bread mixture and mix until combined. Pour in chocolate chips and mix.
- Place mixture into prepared muffin pan. Try to put an even amount of bread chunks, liquid mixture and chocolate chips into each.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Notes:
- *Butter - you may use unsalted butter if you like, just add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the recipe.
- *Pumpkin pie spice - if you don't have this handy spice mix, just use cinnamon and nutmeg. I would recommend using 2 parts cinnamon to 1 part nutmeg (or even less, depending on how much you like nutmeg).
- *Muffin liners - if the liners are too thin you might find that some butter has come through during cooking. This won't affect the taste at all, but it might make handling the muffins a little bit messy. When this happens I just place mine on a paper towel after removing them from the pan.
