Pumpkin Bread Pudding Minis

I have always felt that one of the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers that you get to bring home, and I love coming up with new ways to use those leftovers outside of the traditional meal.

Who doesn’t love a nice, hot buttered roll with their holiday dinner? I love all of the various dinner rolls that my family brings to our family potluck-style holiday dinners, but we always seem to throw them out after the meal is over. By the end of the day, the rolls are a bit stale and they don’t tend to reheat very well in the microwave.

I found an awesome idea for using leftover dinner rolls, as well as any pumpkin puree you might have left over from that Thanksgiving pumpkin pie! I took a traditional bread pudding recipe, and added a bit of a fall flavor by adding in pumpkin pie spice and a bit of pumpkin puree.

Instructions

This pumpkin bread pudding also does well in the traditional baking pan, but I love these minis because it’s so easy to keep portion under control – and they’re the perfect size for the little ones!
