I had a half loaf of whole wheat bread that needed to be used, so I decided to make this as a healthy version for breakfast with half the sugar and a little more raisins and some added nuts/seeds (I had pumpkin seeds) and some ground flax-seed. Then I served it to my toddler with a little powdered sugar on top and frozen blueberries. He devoured it. After reading the other reviews, I used about a cup more cubed bread and a little less milk, but then found that it wasn't moist enough for my taste, so I guess it just depends on your taste... Also, the one other thing I would add for next time is a little salt to bring out the flavor of the other spices (not sure how much yet).

After reading the other reviews, I reduced the the milk to 2 cups of 1% milk, down from 4 cups of whole milk. And I threw in 1/3 cup of dried cranberries, and everything turned out great. By the way, I also used an white cake that didn't rise (baking powder was off) so maybe that also helped with the absorption so it was less runny and just right for bread pudding (i.e., use a denser bread).
