Protein Bread Pudding
A high-protein dessert made with low-calorie bread, egg whites, and sugar-free pudding, enriched with cinnamon and nutmeg for warm flavor. It combines a soft, moist texture with creamy casein pudding, ideal as a nutritious, guilt-free treat or snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
Yes, you can substitute whole eggs for egg whites, but this will increase the fat and calorie content. Using whole eggs will also add a richer flavor and more moisture to the pudding.
What if I don't have sugar free syrup?
You can use a small amount of honey or maple syrup instead, but this will add sugar and calories. Alternatively, a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener can be used for a low-calorie option.
Can I substitute dairy milk for almond milk?
Yes, any milk will work in place of almond milk, such as cow's milk or oat milk. Keep in mind that dairy milk will increase calories and fat; choose unsweetened options to keep it low-calorie.
How should I store leftovers?
Store any leftover bread pudding and pudding mixture separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days for best texture and freshness.
Can I add other spices or flavorings?
Absolutely, you can experiment with vanilla extract, nutmeg alone, or pumpkin spice blends for different flavor profiles. Just adjust the amounts to your taste.
