Notes

For an added layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a handful of chopped nuts to the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. Cornbread pudding is quite versatile; feel free to experiment with different dried fruits or a splash of bourbon for a richer taste.
