bread pudding cupcakes

from the marketplace

6 slices of wheat bread

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips 

1/3 cup almonds

1/3 cup craisins
1 banana

2 cups skim milk

from whole foods/home

4 eggs

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

(the cinnamon is missing from this picture because the people sharing the kitchen needed it for their steaks)
(the RA was teaching his hall how to make steaks, which was really cool - love bonding through food)

This was our first attempt at transforming bland marketplace food into something delicious. We ended up baking in the Bell Tower kitchen with their communal equipment since we haven't had the chance to bring our mixing bowls etc. to school yet (and BT has a super nice and big kitchen). They didn't have a casserole dish so we had to improvise and use a cupcake pan instead... hence the cupcake part in bread pudding cupcakes, which actually worked out for the better when we were walking around campus, handing them out.

Mix all the wet ingredients + sugar together.

Butter is optional for a more golden crust.  We opted to leave it out though.

Roughly break up pieces of banana (optional of course).  You could try grated apple too.

Alternate filling the cups with bread pieces and egg mixture, making sure the bread gets soaked so it doesn't burn.

Finished product:

Yay, happiness :)
