This recipe is a combination of two classic recipes: bread pudding and pumpkin pie. I put this together on a whim and so glad that I decided to “experiment”. It was a cool day outside we needed something comforting that would warm our bellies. 

The taste is definitely more comforting than sweet. Perfect for those cool and crisp fall evenings. Heck!!! It is perfect for breakfast, dessert, and to use up leftover pumpkin puree.
