(*This post was sponsored by Franz Bakery. All gushings and opinions about this eggnog bread pudding and gluten free bread are my own!)

There is something to be said for the holiday season. The traditions, the food, the flavors! Do you have a food or flavor that makes you feel like smiling?

Eggnog does it for me! It is creamy and full of sweet spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. You can use dairy-free or regular eggnog in this recipe. Add a fresh, homemade whipped cream, and I could live on the stuff! Even my picky one will eat this eggnog bread pudding. 

This gluten-free bread pudding recipe is even more special because it was made with Franz Gluten Free Mountain White bread. If you haven't tried Franz gluten free bread yet, you are in for a special treat.

If you love eggnog as much as we do, check out all of my gluten free eggnog recipes!

You can order Franz products online, or if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can find them in many Costco stores! Also, check out my gluten free eggnog bread pudding web story!

I have used Franz Gluten Free Breads in a few recipes now. Check out this Gluten Free Ricotta Stuffed French Toast recipe and this Roasted Acorn Soup with Homemade Pumpkin Spice Croutons recipe.

Are you ready to try making this gluten free eggnog dessert for yourself?

Ingredient Notes:

  • gluten free bread - I like Mountain White Franz best.
  • Eggnog - Use either regular or dairy-free.
  • eggs - Size large.
  • Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice - Be sure to verify the spices you use are gluten free.

Recipe step-by-step directions:

Making a gluten free eggnog bread pudding is so easy! With just a few simple steps, you can put it together.

Step 1: Open the special bag that the Franz bread is in. I call it a special bag because it makes the Franz bread shelf-stable until you open it.

Step 2: Cut the bread into cubes. Don't forget to include the crust. My kids hate crust, but they love it when it is hidden in a casserole like this gluten-free eggnog bread pudding!

Step 3: Soak the gluten free bread cubes in eggnog and sprinkle with cinnamon and other spices. I let the bread soak for 20 minutes so that it falls apart when saturated.

You can soak the bread pudding overnight in the refrigerator if you like a very soft bread pudding.

Step 4: Bake the bread pudding at 350º F for 25 minutes. Cool and top with whipped cream.

Franz Gluten Free Bread would also be delicious in this Classic Gluten Free Bread Pudding.

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

How large should the bread cubes be cut?

You can make the cubes any size for this gluten free eggnog bread pudding recipe. I made my cubes 1 inch by 1 inch.

Can you make this egg nog bread pudding dairy-free?

You can easily make this recipe dairy-free by using dairy-free eggnog! You will find soy-based, almond-based, and coconut-based eggnog.

How long will eggnog bread pudding keep in the refrigerator?

This eggnog bread pudding is a great dish to make ahead as it will keep in the refrigerator for three days.

  • Add pecans for an extra shot of protein

    This is a perfect holiday treat for the whole family, Sandi. I am definitely preparing it as soon as possible. Is this a good recipe to use stale bread for?

      Hi Agness, it would depend on how stale your bread is. If it is stale, but slightly hard, yes. If it is stale and mushy from age, probably not. I hope this helps.
