So I kind of cheated here.  I was going to make my own gingerbread, but then I remembered Trader Joe's makes a delicious gingerbread cake mix.

I always tell you guys that I am all about convenience these days, so why not simplify my life? Even just a little bit.

It came out pretty spicy (which I like) and really yummy.  And I like it because it's a different type of dessert than the typical cookies (not saying I don't love those too!)

Remember it is a treat, so only a small serving is really all that is necessary with all of these wonderful flavors. Man, I just love holiday baking....

And I absolutely love the smell of gingerbread in my house.

All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider! 

Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

Recipe Tips for this Gingerbread Bread Pudding

Now of course, you can go ahead and make your own gingerbread. I typically make mini loaves for friends and family to give as holiday gifts.

I will say that the Trader Joe's box mix is really good (and super easy) especially if you like all of those holiday spices.

My kids loved it too. Well my middle guy kept telling me to stop calling it pudding but it most definitely was not pudding.

I tried to explain to him the whole concept of bread pudding but he wasn't having it. So then I referred to it as "gingerbread dessert" so he would let it go.

Anyway, they all loved it. You can easily top it with whipped cream or even vanilla ice cream which sounds beyond amazing.

I highly recommend serving when it's still warm too!  It's almost gooey and so delicious.

Again, doesn't that vanilla ice cream sound even better on top if it's still warm?

I sprinkled a tiny bit of powdered sugar to make it a little more pretty and obviously to add slightly more sweetness.

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root grated
• ▢ 2 tablespoons unrefined sugar
• ▢ 2 ½ cups gingerbread already baked cut into cubes
• ▢ 2 large eggs
• ▢ ¼ cup unrefined sugar
• ▢ 2 cups almond milk or milk of choice
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray ramekins (for individual puddings) or a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, combine fresh ginger root and 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour into prepared baking dish.
• Lay the gingerbread cubes on top of the ginger sugar mixture.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs and sugar and mix until well blended. Slowly add milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour into baking dish and allow gingerbread to soak up the liquid for 10 minutes. I like to push the gingerbread into the milk mixture to make sure it's absorbed.
• Place baking dish on a baking sheet and place in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
