Chocolate Peanut Butter Microwave Bread Pudding

Bread pudding in a mug – yes, please! This easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Microwave Bread Pudding takes minutes to make, making it perfect for a late night craving or quick dessert. 

I am not a big dessert person. In fact, I rarely eat dessert. I do have the occasional piece of dark chocolate though. Many times the dark chocolate is accompanied by peanut butter. That way it isn’t too sweet.

I don’t buy dark chocolate often because it will disappear quickly if I do. I do keep cacao powder around, though. That way I have to work for my dessert. I whip up some cacao powder, sweetener, and peanut butter and dilute it to a pudding-like consistency.

Easy Bread Pudding

When I do crave dessert, I like it to be easy and in small portions. This simple bread pudding hits both of those requirements. It literally takes minutes to make, which makes it perfect for a late night craving when you want something fast.

That’s usually when I crave dark chocolate. It’s after a couple glasses of red wine, which pairs nicely with dark chocolate.

Ever since starting the blog a few years ago, I’ve been creating desserts with bread products, whereas preblog I probably would have never considered it. I think my Banana, Chocolate and Peanut Butter Dessert Pizza was one of the first, as well as one of my favorites.

I have even created desserts with spring rolls. They are great to use in recipes since I always have some stocked in the pantry.

Tips For Making Microwave Bread Pudding

• All microwaves are different, so you may want to start at 1 minute, then add time in 30 second increments.
• For a lighter version, use unsweetened almond milk. I tried it both ways and like them both, although the coconut milk version is a bit richer.
• For a dryer vegan bread pudding, toast the bread or use day old bread. Gluten free bread is quite dense, so you might want to try it out of the package first before trying it toasted. I did both and prefer it straight from the package.
• To get the chocolate peanut butter mixture on all pieces of bread, it’s best to spread it on both slices, sandwich them together, then add another layer on top.
• If you’re really in a hurry, you can buy store bought chocolate peanut butter spread.
