I’m loving peach season this year, with this Perfectly Peach Bread Pudding!

Disclosure: This featured post originally appeared on Wonderfully Made and Dearly Loved. This blogger has partnered with Kauffman’s Fruit Farm to review and post about products that they receive for free.

We are in the height of peach season as well as apple season. I have fond memories of making delicious concoctions with my grandma from both fruits in my youth.

Simple things like bread puddings, cobblers and crisps come to mind this time of year. The leaves beginning to change, the days getting cooler as well as trips to an orchard to pick apples and peaches as a family.

Kauffman’s Fruit Farm offers all of those things to their patrons as well as the ability to ship orchard fresh fruits anywhere your heart desires, you really may want to check out their website.

Our family is blessed to be partnering with Kauffman’s Fruit Farm to celebrate their 100th anniversary this year!

We received this wonderful Mix ‘n Match Fresh Fruit Box.

It contained 16 peaches

and 16 apples (8 Ginger Gold & 8 Stayman)

The awesomeness is that you can choose which fruits you would like in this assortment, making it easy to sample some of their many varieties of farm fresh fruit.

Following a Trim and Healthy lifestyle has brought a new appreciation for farm fresh fruits such as these and opened doors to controlling our blood sugar while still enjoying the simple pleasures and foods we eat.

Those beautiful peaches you see pictured above inspired me to make one of our family favorite treats, this Perfectly Peach Bread Pudding.

As we are following the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan, I made this with sprouted whole wheat bread and this brown sugar replacement.

Using brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a depth of flavor to this dish that we hadn’t had in previous versions.

Using healthy ingredients gives us a clean carb source that doesn’t spike my blood sugar with the addition of protein in the greek yogurt and eggs.

This dish is a wonderful treat for those that have reached goal weight, nursing mama’s or for growing children that have higher metabolisms.

I normally separate my carbs and fats but this just wouldn’t be the same if I did.

As a side note, crossovers on Trim Healthy Mama are on plan as well as good for you… as a healthy way to change things up. I’ve noticed that if I incorporate 1-2 crossovers in a month my weight will steadily decrease, especially if I have noticed a stall in my weight loss (-65 pounds and counting).

Perfectly Peach Bread Pudding

8 TBS unsalted butter (4 TBS softened + 4 TBS melted)
6 cups sprouted wheat bread (or sour dough), torn and toasted
