How to Make Bread Pudding Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Lightly grease the top of the muffin pan.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any spills.
  5. In a large bowl, combine all but 2 cups of the cubed bread.
  6. Pour in the milk and cream. Let stand for 3 minutes, then gently stir to break up some of the bread cubes, allowing the liquid to absorb. Stir in the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, brandy (optional), and melted butter.
  7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Stir in the raisins (optional).
  10. Gently fold in the reserved bread cubes.
  11. Using a large ice cream scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup slightly over the rim.
  12. Place the muffin tin on the prepared baking sheet.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  15. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
