Bread pudding meets s'mores for this delicious dessert that is lighter on the calories and that the whole family can enjoy!
If any of you have been to the USA, you will of probably heard of a s'more. Delicious graham crackers, filled with chocolate and toasted marshmellows (kind of like a sweet sandwich). The toasted warm marshmellow melts the chocolate and well you guessed it - the result is heaven!!
So here we have my S'mores inspired bread pudding and it really is yummy. I didn't add anything else to mine as it was delicious just as it is, but if you want to make it more decadent, you could add some fruit (banana would pair well) and maybe even some cream.

Ingredients Notes
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Low Calorie Bread: The bread forms the base of the pudding and soaks up the custard mixture beautifully.
- Nutella: Adds that classic chocolate-hazelnut flavour that makes this dessert taste just like a s'more. Spread evenly between the slices for the best flavour in every bite.
- Eggs: The eggs create the custard that sets around the bread as it bakes, giving the pudding its soft and creamy texture.
- Almond Milk: Almond milk keeps the pudding lighter while adding a subtle sweetness. Other milk varieties can be used if preferred.
- Granulated Sweetener: sweetens the dish without adding heaps of calories. Ensure you use granulated and not powdered.
- Marshmallows: Chopped marshmallows melt into the pudding as it bakes, creating pockets of gooey sweetness reminiscent of traditional s'mores.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and enhances the flavours of the chocolate and marshmallows.
- Spray Oil - Used to lightly grease the baking dish and help prevent sticking.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

Variations and Substitutes
This s'mores bread and butter pudding is easy to adapt with a few simple swaps depending on what you have on hand.
- Use a different bread: Low calorie bread can be replaced with brioche, challah, white bread, wholemeal bread or even croissants for a more indulgent version.
- Try a different spread: Peanut butter, Biscoff spread, cookies and cream spread or white chocolate spread or any spread you like can be used instead of Nutella for a fun variation.
- Add extra chocolate: Stir in some chocolate chips, milk chocolate chunks or dark chocolate pieces for even more chocolatey goodness.
- Try different marshmallows: Mini marshmallows work just as well and can be sprinkled throughout the pudding or over the top before baking.
- Change the milk: Almond milk can be replaced with skimmed milk, semi-skimmed milk, oat milk, soy milk or any milk of your choice.
- Add a biscuit element: Crushed graham crackers, digestive biscuits or graham cracker crumbs can be sprinkled between the layers or over the top for an authentic s'mores flavour.
- Add some crunch: Chopped pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts add a delicious crunchy texture.
- Boost the flavour: A pinch of cinnamon or a little espresso powder pairs beautifully with the chocolate flavours.
- Make it extra indulgent: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, frozen yogurt or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Add fruit: Sliced bananas or fresh raspberries work surprisingly well with the chocolate and marshmallow combination.
