Bread and butter pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. However, it can also be quite rich and heavy. If you are looking for a lighter version of this classic dish, there are a few things you can do. For example, you can use whole-wheat bread instead of white bread, and you can reduce the amount of sugar and butter in the recipe. You can also use a lighter type of milk, such as skim or 2%, and you can omit the eggs altogether. Finally, you can serve the pudding with a lighter sauce, such as a butterscotch sauce made with light cream or yogurt.
Here are our top 8 tried and tested recipes!

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE (LIGHTER)
Mandy from Oz requested her recipe#243686 be made lighter so I took on the challenge. I not only cut the fat and sugar but added more flavor. Yum! I started with 1 serving of her recipe and worked off of that and made it 2 servings. I think this would be good with bananas tossed in orange juice mixed in it too! There are more ways to make it even lighter which I have offered below. You could also omit the sauce. ***Nutrition facts for Splenda brown sugar blend: 1/2 tsp= 10 calories and 2g sugars. So if you use all of it in this recipe that should bring the calories up to 386 per serving and the sugar to 20.5g per serving.

This simple bread pudding is an easy way to use up those bits and pieces that seem to lie around the pantry. Save a fortune and make this tasty pudding. I like to serve this with custard sauce but it goes well with whipped cream, ice cream, or also great on its own.
