🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking. Trust me on this one; I learned the hard way!
- In a large mixing bowl, cube your day-old bread. Aim for roughly 1-inch cubes. If your bread is too fresh, it'll get soggy. Let's avoid that disaster!
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved—no grainy surprises in our brownies!
- Add the cubed bread to the wet ingredients, gently stirring until all the bread is evenly coated. Don't overmix; a few dry spots are okay. We want texture, not mush!
- Stir in the chocolate chips (or your chosen mix-ins!). Remember, more chocolate is always a good idea. Just sayin'.
- Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly to ensure consistent baking and avoid any sad, undercooked corners.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Oven temperatures vary, so keep an eye on them!
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. This allows them to set and prevents a crumbly mess. Patience, young padawan!
📝 Notes
- Use a good quality chocolate for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or milk chocolate work wonderfully.
- If you don't have day-old bread, you can lightly toast fresh bread to dry it out a bit before using it.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits!
