Blueberry Bread Pudding with Almond Struesal Topping

I love the addition of yoghurt to this pudding – it keeps it nice and moist and a lot healthier than adding cream. The acidic tang of yoghurt also balances out the sweetness of the pudding.

Ingredients (serves 2)

2 cups cubed sourdough bread
1 200gram Yoghurt
3/4 cup Milk (or soy milk)
3 eggs - whisked
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp castor sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp rolled - quick oats
1/4 cup frozen blueberries

Method

whisk together eggs, milk , blueberry yoghurt , 3 tbsp brown sugar, vanilla ...add diced sourdough bread - fold together , cover bowl & let the mixture sit for 1 hour in the fridge.
lightly butter & dust an oven proof baking dish or large ramekin (could also make smaller individual sized puddings) with castor sugar - coating all sides of baking dish.
scatter frozen blueberries on the bottom of baking dish. spoon the bread mixture over top - spreading it out evenly.
bake for 40 mins at 170 degrees Celsius with tin foil covering the pudding loosely (I like to bake it in a water bath - assuring the custard mixture doesn't curdle - keeps it smooth & silky)
after 40 mins remove from oven...combine 2 tbsp softened butter with the oats , 1 tbsp brown sugar , cinnamon , almonds & flour. You should have a rough - clumpy mixture , sprinkle this over the pudding & bake for an additional 10 mins (do not cover with tin foil )...until the topping is golden brown & crisp.
Can be enjoyed hot or cold...even better with a scoop of ice-cream or frozen yoghurt !

That sounds lovely. I would replace the sugar with pure maple syrup

My husband just loves bread pudding. I will have to add this recipe to my list, as I don’t have that includes blueberry.

Nice one. I would replace the brown sugar and castor sugar with coconut palm sugar or better even, yacon syrup.

I’m not a huge bread and butter fan, but I have saved the recipe for the topping, I think it would be lovely as a crumble topping. I love fruit crumbles

This sounds delicious except I’d love to try it with blackberries or raspberries. I don’t really like blueberries much.
