Ingredients

  • 1 loaf — French bread, cut into cubes

  • ½ cup — raisins, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon — maple-flavored extract

  • 1 teaspoon — rum-flavored extract

  • ¼ cup — water, or as needed

  • 3 cups — milk

  • 1 (15 ounce) can — pumpkin purée

  • 1 (14 ounce) can — sweetened condensed milk (such as Eagle Brand)

  • 3 — large eggs

  • ⅓ cup — brown sugar

  • ⅓ cup — unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoons — molasses

  • 2 teaspoons — vanilla extract

  • 2 teaspoons — pumpkin pie spice

  • 2 teaspoons — ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon — ground allspice

  • ½ teaspoon — ground ginger

Directions

  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread bread cubes into the prepared baking dish.
  • Combine raisins and extracts together in a microwave-safe bowl; pour in enough water to almost cover raisins. Microwave until raisins are plump, about 1 1/2 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat milk, pumpkin purée, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, raisin mixture, brown sugar, butter, molasses, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger together in a large bowl until smooth; pour over bread. Set aside until bread has absorbed liquid, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
