Welcome to Man Monday, where a man creates food… on Monday…
Do you like the new welcome? I guess it could take some, uh, finesse. Seriously though, I got to thinking…am I really going to tie myself down to posts that require a certain level of masculinity every single week?! The realist in me says, “Why put yourself through that quagmire of monumental creative effort on a weekly basis when the non-gendered possibilities are endless?” I mean, if I want to make pink cotton candy, then I’m going to make pink cotton candy garnished with roses and daisies dang-it! After all, this is MY blog and I’ll do with it what I want. Well, it’s mine in the sense that anything I own is mine…which means it’s actually Sarah’s but she lets me think it’s mine.
So, with that disclaimer out of the way, I present to you nothing that has anything to do with manliness or grills. It’s just something a man made on Monday, but it just so happens to taste great.
Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. butter melted
- 1/2 loaf French bread cubed
- 4 eggs beaten
- 2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup brown sugar divided
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg ground
- chocolate sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°
-
Place your melted butter in a 8x8 casserole dish, make sure it coats all sides and bottom.
-
In a separate bowl, mix your eggs, milk, ½ cup brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add your bread cubes and toss together lightly. Dump your mixture into the casserole dish.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar all over the top of your mixture. This will give it a nice, caramel-ish crust.
-
Bake in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes. It’s done when it’s bubbling on the sides and the top is brown and crispy.
-
Top with your chocolate sauce and enjoy.
I recommend enjoying this dish with a tall glass of milk, a blankey, and a favorite movie or TV show on a Saturday… or you can do something more manly while snarfing it down, it’s up to you.

Looks delicious! Love the idea of chocolate sauce on bread pudding, I have never heard of that, but it sounds awesome!
Made this pudding , it was so good. I used Hot Fudge Sauce (heated). It was soooooo delicious.
Just happened across a site with a picture & title of this recipe and couldn’t resist. Love bread pudding, cinnamon, brown sugar, chocolate–figured I can’t miss with this recipe. My husband and I are old retired teachers with health issues, so we usually fix meals together. I really like the relaxed tone (I taught 12th grade English) of your recipe. These comments help me understand, know ahead of time what to expect, what to avoid, etc. And got some chuckles/smiles–IMPORTANT. I appreciate anything that makes me smile, and we will try this bread pudding this week! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
