Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Bread Pudding!

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Some people might think this is even better than pumpkin pie lol! You can cut the sugar back a couple of tablespoons. Serve this with my Really Easy and Good Caramel sauce#78088, or with whipped cream, this is so good! Prep time does not include slicing the bread into cubes.

Mmmmm, thanks Kittencal! Fabulous with your Caramel Sauce!! I had a small amount of pumpkin to use up so I made half a recipe and baked it in a glass loaf pan. Worked perfectly. The only trouble is that I only made half a recipe and now I want more! ;)

As always, another yummy Kittencalskitchen recipe! I increased the number of eggs to 6 and just used the pumpkin pie spice rather than adding extra cinnamon. Set up beautifully and tasted delicious! We served ours with homemade vanilla icecream. Thanks for another winner, Kitten!

thanks for this recipe, I don't normally like pumkin anything and this was just fantastic...my family loved it and it sure is a keeper...will pass along to others so that they can enjoy it as much as we all did...made it with the easy carmel sauce Kittencal's Easy Caramel Sauce or Ice Cream Topping which I could have ate with a spoon, thanks again Kittencal..again another sure winner.
