Recipe: Breakfast Bread Pudding with Streusel Topping (using applesauce)

BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING

"Breakfast Bread Pudding is a cross between French toast and coffee cake, but with Mott's Natural Apple Sauce in place of the butter and oil found in traditional breakfast recipes."

1 cup Mott's Natural Apple Sauce
1 cup 2% lowfat milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 slices cinnamon raisin bread, cut into cubes (about 4 cups)
Streusel Topping (recipe follows)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly greased 8x8-inch baking pan.

Combine apple sauce, milk, eggs and brown sugar in medium bowl. Whisk until well combined. Gently stir in bread cubes until well moistened. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Top with streusel topping, if desired.

Bake 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm.

STREUSEL TOPPING:

2/3 cup quick-cooking oats

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
