Breakfast Bread Pudding in a Jar

I have a new kitchen crush. Canning jars. I am working on the next issue of the Diner News. It will be featuring all sorts of food in a jar. This dish is pretty simple to put together, and despite the name, does not use traditional bread. It takes advantage of the classic Minute Muffin for the base. Then it adds an rum laced egg custard that is a great change of pace. It feels a bit like eating dessert for breakfast! I am giving you the recipe for a single serving, but it would be great in place of your breakfast Multiply Meal you make on prep day. Just line up the jars and fill 'em up.

I used Jamaican Rum flavoring, but maple would also be awesome. Just choose your flavor combo and have fun. You could even make a chocolate Minute Muffin and enjoy a chocolate bread pudding. So many variations are possible. Coconut milk in place of the heavy cream...berries added in...a  tablespoon of pecans...you get the idea?

Breakfast Bread Pudding in a Jar

Bread:
1 pat butter
2 tbsp golden flax seed meal
2 tbsp almond flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
stevia or other sweetener equal to 1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Custard:
1 egg
1 tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp rum flavoring
stevia equal to 4 tsp sugar
sprinkle of cinnamon
1 pat butter

Using the microwave, melt one pat of butter in a wide mouth half pint canning jar or large ramekin. Add in flax meal, almond flour, baking powder, salt and stevia or other sweetener and egg. Stir until egg is well incorporated into the batter. Cook in the microwave for one minute or until set in the center.* Remove from microwave (careful, the jar will be hot) and use a knife to cut the muffin into bite size chunks while keeping it in the jar. Just cut a grid pattern and then stir a bit.

In a separate small bowl, combine the egg, cream, rum flavoring and stevia or other sweetener. Pour the custard into the jar, carefully coating all the muffin cubes on the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Top with an additional pat of butter. Seal the pudding with the lid to the canning jar. Let it cool to room temperature then refrigerate.

*Some have asked for oven directions. While I am sure this would work, I have not tried it. I would suggest baking the bread portion at 350 for about 10 minutes. Bake it until it is set but not browned.

This is the muffin fresh from the microwave oven.

I just created this one today, so I am not sure how it freezes. I think it would be fine to freeze, however. I tried it warm from the oven, and while good, I preferred it cold. That is good news for me, since I plan to make these jars to take to school with me. As cold as it has been lately, I just can't make myself get out from under the covers to get a breakfast made. Throwing this little jar in with lunch will be a treat! I will have more breakfast in a jar ideas in the Diner News for February, so look for that coming out on Feb. 1st.

Ready to dig in!

More News too! I am going to do my best to start up my Among Friends features each week. I did that for quite a while back when volume 1 came out. Then I started the school and life got crazy busy. Well, it still is certainly busy, but we have 3 semesters behind us and I do get a break to complete a thought from time to time. I am about to be a true empty nester, as my last boy at home is planning to move in with a former college friend. I am so going to miss him, but not having to prepare the side dishes and other foods for him will give me much more time in the kitchen. I have already made one of Maria's recipes to feature this week, and it was so delicious. Chicken Sate. Be looking for that one.
