Hearty Potato Bread

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a big bowl, mix the bread cubes with the cream and soy milk, letting the bread soak up the liquid. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in another bowl, then stir in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Pour this pumpkin mixture over the soaked bread along with the raisins, and gently toss everything together. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for anywhere from half an hour to an hour to let the flavors meld. When you’re ready, spoon the pudding into 8 small ramekins and bake them for about an hour, until the pudding is set and the tops have that lovely golden color. Let the ramekins cool for about 30 minutes before digging in.
