5-Ingredient Slow Cooker French Bread Pudding

Introduction

This 5-Ingredient Slow Cooker French Bread Pudding is the ultimate comfort dessert—simple,
cozy, and incredibly satisfying. Made with everyday ingredients and cooked gently in a slow
cooker, it’s perfect for busy days, family gatherings, or anytime you want a warm homemade
treat with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• 4 cups French bread, cut into cubes (slightly stale works best)
• 2 cups milk
• 3 large eggs
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or cooking spray.
2. Place the cubed French bread evenly into the slow cooker.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, gently pressing the bread down so it absorbs the liquid.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 2½–3 hours, or until the center is set and no longer liquid.
6. Turn off the slow cooker and let the bread pudding rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Description

This slow cooker bread pudding is soft, creamy, and custard-like on the inside with lightly
golden edges. The gentle heat allows the flavors to blend beautifully, creating a comforting
dessert that feels rich and indulgent despite using only five ingredients.

Tips

• Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better than fresh bread.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
• Serve warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a drizzle of syrup.

Correction

• If the pudding is too soft, cook an additional 15–20 minutes with the lid slightly open.
• If it turns out dry, add an extra ¼ cup of milk next time.
• Always check doneness in the center, as slow cooker temperatures may vary.
