- While any plant-based milk can be used, it’s recommended to avoid full-fat coconut milk due to its high calorie and saturated fat content.
- Ground flaxseed can be replaced with chia seeds.
- Consider adding fruits like raisins, chopped apples, or peaches, or nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans to the pudding mixture before baking for added flavor and texture.
- This vegan bread pudding recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9×13 baking dish.
