Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Grape-Nuts cereal
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with unsalted butter.

Step 2

Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the Grape-Nuts cereal. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk and Grape-Nuts mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 5

Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and place the dish in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the pudding is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 7

Carefully remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.

Step 8

Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
