I’ve had something like this in mind for a while now. I wanted a bread pudding I can eat without guilt. It’s taken me a few fails to figure out a good recipe. For instance, while 2-ingredient dough bagels are delicious, they do not make a good bread pudding. That turned out bad. This cinnamon swirl bread is perfect though! It’s already mildly sweet and cinnamony. The sweet bread soaked in a protein shake custard is just the combination I was looking for! I can even eat this for breakfast and feel like I’ve started the day right! ~Erin
- 2 ½ slices Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Swirl bread
- ½ of an 11 oz. carton of Vanilla Premier Protein Shake
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- 2 tsp. sugar
- Caramel ice cream topping, regular or sugar free (optional)
Instructions:
- Air fryer and conventional oven cooking instructions are included below.
- If using a conventional oven, preheat it now to 350°F.
- Tear the bread into small pieces and place into a ramekin or oven safe mug; lightly pack together.
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg, protein shake, cinnamon, and sugar to make a custard.
- Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread, until all the bread is soaked but not swimming in custard; discard any leftover custard mixture – there shouldn’t be much if any.
- For air fryer: Cook at 350°F for 10 minutes.
- For conventional oven: Cook in the preheated 350°F oven for 45, until the top is brown.
- Drizzle with caramel ice cream topping, if desired.

Here is the bigger one (6 qt.!) that we love even more, but it was not available on prime when we checked last, though that sometimes changes:
