Brown Bread Pudding w Molasses & Raisins

A favorite way to use up old bread! Surprisingly this tasted like I made my own molasses muffins- really nice texture.

Cut up old bread into squares. I used 5 slices of sprouted whole grain Ezekiel bread.

In a bowl, beat to combine:
3 eggs
1/2 C milk or half and half
2 TB to 1/4 C molasses
2 TB to 1/4 C brown sugar
handful raisins
1 TB water (or as much as needed to keep bread moist)

1.5 TB cinnamon
1/4- 1/2 tea nutmeg
pinch cloves
vanilla extract
almond extract
pinch salt

Toss the bread chunks into bowl stir to get the bread soaking.

Pack into 8 muffin tins, smushing bread down.

Bake 20-25 min at 350, until knife comes out clean.

Store in fridge or freezer.
