Pumpkin Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding

This is a recipe we've been making for years, and is one of our favorite ways to kick off pumpkin spice season! 

Pumpkin is an antioxidant-rich ingredient that adds nutrient density to this bread pudding recipe, so it's a great way to get in your vitamins (and enjoy them, too!) 

We sweeten it up using coconut-infused cane sugar from Salty Wahine, which is a two-ingredient delicacy sourced right on the island of Kauai. Golden raisins and macadamia nuts from Island Harvest add a delightful texture.
