Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
2
Gradually add the plain breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring constantly until the breadcrumbs are thoroughly soaked and the mixture is smooth, achieving a thick oatmeal-like consistency. If needed, adjust the amount of breadcrumbs to reach the desired texture.
3
Gently fold in the packed brown sugar, melted butter or margarine, and any optional ingredients such as raisins or sliced bananas. Mix until evenly distributed.
4
Grease the inside of your slow cooker generously to prevent sticking. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
5
Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, prop the lid open slightly with a spoon or fork to allow excess moisture to escape, which will help achieve a firmer texture.
7
When done, the bread pudding should be slightly risen like a cake, and the top should appear smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
