waffle pudding, anyone?

Thanksgiving morning we hosted the first annual "Thanksgiving Vegan Waffle Breakfast." Yum! It was also like a kitchen housewarming party since it was our first gathering in our updated kitch.

We made tons of waffles, and ended up with about 2 quarts of leftover waffle batter. Friday afternoon we went to a Thanksgiving Leftover potluck (vegan!), and I knew I had to make use of the waffle batter somehow. But what to do with it, other than make waffles again?

Waffle bread pudding, of course!

Which did require actually making waffles. But Ryan was a ready helper (and waffle eater). We chopped up the waffles into bite-sized pieces, and then used the bread pudding recipe from Joy of Vegan Baking - except I cut out all the white sugar, and used only the brown sugar she calls for. I thought since the waffles were already sweet, all that sugar would be overkill.

This made the most aromatic bread pudding, and it was nice and moist. I highly recommend this as a fun way to use leftover waffle batter!
