Bread Pudding Muffins

Baked on 3/8/09 for the third Psi Chi study group (they're not cookies, but we had Oreos there too).

These are really easy to make (recipe below). The most complicated part is cutting the bread slices into cubes. Haha.





Soak time!:



I know...switching between flash & no-flash makes the coloring inconsistent, but the flash version of this pic didn't reveal the texture very well:


I hadn't baked in ages!

Original recipe here.
Here's the recipe I used:
* Changes I made:
1) 2% milk instead of non-fat -- yeah...I usually only use non-fat, but I had extra from the first
Psi Chi Cookies 'n' Cram study group thing, which was a failure)
2) Chocolate chips instead of raisins

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
  
• 4 egg whites
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 12 slices whole wheat bread (diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
• 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Guittard)
  
  Directions:
  
  1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  2) Spray a standard-size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray
  3) Combine all ingredients but the bread and chocolate chips in a large bowl and mix well
  4) Stir in the bread and chocolate chips and let soak for 5 minutes
  5) Mound the mixture into each of the 12 sprayed muffin tins
  6) Bake for about 30-ish minutes or until firm and nicely browned
  7) Cool on a wire rack
