I love this version of bread pudding. It’s not heavy at all and it tastes so fresh and not overly sweet. You can eat it as-is if you want this as a breakfast treat or if you are eating this as a dessert, you can top it with ice cream and/or a caramel sauce. This pineapple bread pudding recipe really is so easy and you may already have all the ingredients on hand!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
We use regular white bread for this recipe but you can also use French bread, brioche or Texas toast – whatever you have on hand.
Absolutely, some other ingredients that I experimented with are fresh lemon juice and cinnamon for a slightly different flavor.
That is a personal preference but we love to serve this with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, crushed pineapple or even whipped cream.
No, sometimes bread puddings do need to sit to soak up the liquid but since we used regular sandwich bread, it soaks it up pretty quickly so it can be mixed and poured into the pan right away.
This can be stored in an airtight container or in the pan covered with plastic wrap where it will keep for up to 3 days. This can be served warm or cold.

HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE BREAD PUDDING:
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, pineapple, vanilla and melted butter.
Tear the bread into chunks and add to the egg mixture.
Stir the bread gently into the mix. Pour the mix into a lightly greased 8×8-inch baking dish or a deep dish pie pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and set. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
I like serving this with a scoop of vanilla on top and a drizzle caramel sauce.
