Tender cubes of gluten-free bread soaked in a protein-rich custard create the base for this Blueberries and Pineapple bread pudding. The natural sweetness of tropical pineapple chunks balances the tart pop of fresh blueberries, while a hint of vanilla and salted caramel notes tie everything together. It is a satisfying way to repurpose bread into a warm, fruit-forward meal.
The baking process yields a soft, pudding-like consistency with just the right amount of structure to hold the fruit. A sprinkle of roasted coconut flakes adds a subtle, nutty crunch to the top, making it a great choice for those who want a structured yet simple breakfast or a balanced afternoon snack.
Once pulled from the oven and allowed to set, a drizzle of maple syrup rounds out the flavor profile. It is best enjoyed while still warm, letting the fruit juices seep into the bread for a well-integrated bite that feels substantial and thoughtful.
