This delicious recipe is for the Thanksgiving Recipe Contest, which aligns well with any fall harvest theme. I have created a delectable Pumpkin Bread Pudding that will knock your socks off, leaving your taste buds yearning for more. I was excited to use a fresh loaf of soft bread, which has an incredible consistency and is perfectly suited for bread pudding. Thanks to the pumpkin, whole wheat and ground flax, this tasty treat packs a healthy dose of beta carotene, whole grains and fiber.
