Eggless Bread Pudding [Low fat version]

I have read somewhere that All good things in life are either expensive, fattening, bad for your health or illegal?Soo true isn?t?



That sure is the case for most things I love to eat?the first 3 at least:-)



It was during one of the departmental Coffee talks at work that I first had the taste of Bread pudding.

Of course I have seen it in dessert menu for a zillion times, but never bothered to order it thinking ?how good can a bread dessert taste!!?



Usually during coffee talks they serve my favorite Cheese cake?So as usual, I skipped the finger sandwich, noodles and went straight to Dessert table to grab my dear cheese cake.

Grrrrrrr?.it was not there?instead they had bread pudding?

Ok, at least something sweet is better than nothing, so I grabbed some?



After having my first spoon?my eye virtually popped out?.it was that damn good. Creamy, buttery n melting in my mouth

Needless to say I have second..third??and ?servings:-)

Man?I can?t forgive myself for ignoring this loveliest dessert for soo long?



So I decided to make the so called low fat and eggless version?







Here goes the recipe

8 Slices of bread [I used the Braided Oats bread]

1 Cup Milk

2 tspn Flax seed meal

2 tbspn Maple syrup

1 tbspn butter

Raisins and Nuts to taste. [I used about 1 table spoon raisin and 2 table spoon chopped nuts]



Cut the bread slices into two

In a shallow baking pan, arrange the bread slices in two layers

Now mix Milk, flax seed meal, and maple syrup and give it a stir.

Pour the milk mixture over the bread.

Using a fork, immerse the bread into the milk.

Keep aside for 30 minutes, till the bread had almost absorbed 80% of the milk.



Top with raisins and chopped nuts. Drizzle butter on top



Bake in a preheated oven for 30-40 min at 350 Degree



Top with more maple syrup and enjoy it either warn or cold..
