Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Grape-Nuts cereal
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with unsalted butter.
Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the Grape-Nuts cereal. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually add the milk and Grape-Nuts mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and place the dish in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the pudding is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
