Bread pudding is a great way to turn stale or leftover bread into a dessert that can be made in endless flavor combinations.
Gail Simmons makes a [premium title=”Peachy Bread Pudding” url=”https://www.people.com/people/premium/celebfood/recipe/0,,20713439,00.html”] that sounds amazing, but without having any fruit handy, I decided to try a bread pudding with some leftover blueberry muffins. It’s perfect since the fruit is already baked in!
To start, cut four jumbo blueberry muffins (either from your favorite bakery or homemade from your favorite recipe) into small cubes and place in a deep 2-quart dish.
Whip up a few easy ingredients — your bread pudding will soak in this creamy mixture to become extra-delicious.
After you pour the combined mixture all over the muffin pieces, you’re almost done. Just chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, then throw it in the oven to bake. It’s that easy!
When out of the oven, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, or turn this into a breakfast dish by drizzling it with maple syrup. Just peachy. I mean, blueberry-y!

1. Cut muffins into small cubes and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, cinnamon, milk, cream and vanilla until combined.
3. Arrange blueberry muffin pieces in a lightly greased 2 quart baking dish.
