If you are looking for an easy dessert for the holiday season(Ramadan, Christmas, or Thanksgiving), then this pineapple dessert recipe is right for you.
Pineapple bread pudding for breakfast.
I’ve made this Pineapple bread pudding recipe for my kids a few times. Some of the leftover bread pudding ends up as breakfast for my kids.
I can’t complain, bread pudding with pineapple chunks to bite into in the morning has to be better than plain old cornflakes and milk, right?
The best part is that if you make this overnight on the weekends, the kids can have breakfast right off the fridge, and you get to spend extra time in bed.

Five reasons to love this pineapple dessert.
- Although it served as dessert, this pineapple dessert isn’t over-the-top sweet, which makes it a perfect brunch bread pudding casserole.
- It’s a no-fuss, one-bowl dessert that you can put together and serve within an hour.
- Holidays(Ramadan, parties, Christmas, Thanksgiving)can be a time when you end up cooking for a large crowd, and this casserole can be a real time saver.
- This pineapple recipe makes a filling side dish for almost all types of meats.
- It’s so easy to make, you can let your kids do it for you while you prepare other holiday dishes.
Tips & questions: Pineapple bread pudding.
- Can I use canned pineapple?
- Yes, you can. It makes the whole process easier as fresh pineapple takes time to clean. You can also add a few tablespoons of the juice.
- What type of bread can you use to make this pudding?
- Challah bread, sourdough bread, and French bread can be used as well.
- What can I use to make this pudding with pineapple moist?
- Use a few 2-3 tablespoons of the canned Pineapple juice or 2-3 tablespoons of fresh milk while combining the bread and pineapple mixture.

How to make the pineapple bread pudding.
Please make sure to read the recipe instructions carefully to avoid mistakes.
If using a baking dish, cover with foil and lightly butter the bottom of the dish. Refer to the utensils and appliances for the recommended size.
Break the eggs into a large bowl, and add sugar.

Whisk until sugar dissolves.

Add Pineapple to the mixture(1 cup of chopped fresh pineapple cubes, this is roughly 5-6 slices of fresh pineapple; substitute with a can of pineapple).

Add butter, and combine for a few seconds. Add vanilla.

Tear or cut the bread into smaller cubes and add them to the bowl. Combine and break down the bread completely.

Once you have a pulp-like mixture of the bread and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Check the mixture if you find it dry, add fresh milk or canned Pineapple juice.

Transfer the Pineapple and bread mixture to the baking pan.
Smooth the mixture, shape it, and press down. Sprinkle brown sugar over the pineapple pudding.

Preheat the oven to 325°F or 170°C and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown(depending on altitude, your baking time might take 60 minutes).
I like to rest the pudding for 10-15 minutes before serving, or let it cool, then chill and serve.
