Easy Slow Cooker Pecan Pie Bread Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 (16 ounce) loaf day-old French bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 2.5 cups milk
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 0.13 teaspoon salt
• butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, pecans, and softened butter. Use a fork to mash until well combined.
2. Place bread cubes in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, half-and-half, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and allow it to soak for 5 to 10 minutes, ensuring the liquid is absorbed.
3. Grease your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Pour half of the bread mixture into the prepared slow cooker, then top with half of the pecan mixture. Repeat these layers once more, pressing down gently.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 3 hours.
