WHY I STARTED GOOD GRAIN BAKERY.

Good Grain Bakery's Summer blueberry pudding

🍋🫐 Lemon & Blueberry Bagel Bread Pudding
Gluten Free • Dairy Free • Egg Free • Vegan • Top 14 Allergen Free

A light, summery bread pudding with a crisp golden top, creamy lemon custard and bursts of juicy blueberries.

Ingredients

  • 4 gluten-free bagels, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 250g fresh blueberries
  • 1 litre plant-based milk of your choice
  • 4 tbsp cornflour
  • 60–80ml maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest and juice of 1 large organic lemon (or 2 small organic lemons)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of turmeric (for a beautiful golden colour)
  • 2–3 tbsp melted plant-based butter
  • 1 organic lemon, thinly sliced, to bake into the pudding

To Serve

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Plant-based yogurt or dairy-free whipped cream
  • Light dusting of icing sugar (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 180°C conventional.
  2. Tear the gluten-free bagels into bite-sized pieces and spread them onto a baking tray. Bake for 10–15 minutes until lightly dried but not browned.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornflour, turmeric and a splash of the cold plant-based milk until completely smooth.
  4. Heat the remaining plant-based milk in a saucepan with the maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice and sea salt until just steaming.
  5. Whisk in the cornflour mixture and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the custard lightly thickens.
  6. Place the dried bagel pieces into a lightly greased baking dish and gently fold through the blueberries.
  7. Pour the warm custard evenly over the bagels, gently pressing them down so they absorb the custard. Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
  8. Arrange the thin lemon slices over the top and brush them with the melted plant-based butter.
  9. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and lightly crisp, the lemon slices have softened and lightly caramelised, and the centre is just set.

💛 Serve warm with fresh blueberries and a dollop of plant-based yogurt or dairy-free whipped cream.
