I love to make bread pudding and this Pineapple Bread Pudding Recipe is a new favorite. It’s an easy oven baked dessert along with Peach Bread Pudding, Pumpkin Bread Pudding and Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding. Anytime I have bread going stale, I love to make bread pudding.

I have been doing this for years and it’s a delicious way to transform bread cubes. The sweet flavor of pineapple makes this recipe so delicious. If you have leftover pineapple, make Hummingbird Bread and Pineapple Cookies.
