Blueberry Bread Pudding in a Slow Cooker

This blueberry bread pudding is such a simple and delicious breakfast that is perfect for slow weekend mornings, or a holiday breakfast or brunch.

A rich custard texture, filled with sweet blueberries, and topped with a vanilla sauce, this blueberry bread pudding is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

My favorite part of this recipe is that I can turn on the slow cooker when I’m enjoying my coffee and by the time everyone is ready to eat, it’s done. It’s absolutely no fuss and that’s wonderful. I like to get it ready the night before and let it rest in the fridge to allow the bread time to soak up every bit of the custard mixture.

Unlike my other bread pudding recipe, you will need a slow cooker that is 6 qt or larger.
