Indulge in the comforting sweetness of a classic dessert with a gluten-free twist in this Bread and Butter Pudding! Made with slices of soft gluten-free bread slathered in creamy butter, this recipe layers golden raisins between the bread for a pop of natural sweetness. A luscious custard, infused with vanilla and a hint of cinnamon, soaks into the bread for a rich and tender texture that bakes to golden perfection. With just 15 minutes of prep time and simple pantry staples, this dessert is the ultimate cozy treat for gluten-free diners. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an elegant finish, or serve it warm with a dollop of cream or vanilla ice cream for the perfect comfort food indulgence.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread. Cut the slices into triangles or squares for easy layering.
Arrange half of the bread pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, butter-side up. Sprinkle half of the golden raisins evenly over the bread layer.
Repeat with the remaining bread slices and raisins, creating a second layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until fully combined.
Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread layers, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly soaked. Press down gently with a spatula to help the bread absorb the custard.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the liquid to absorb properly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
