Hi Friends! File this under things you might not know about me: When I was in high school and college, I struggled with lactose intolerance. I went from eating several bowls of cereal a day without a second thought, to not being able to have any milk without serious stomach consequences. Since I’m stubborn and refused to give up my daily cereal, I spent a lot of years taking a daily pill just so I could enjoy it with minimal discomfort.

Luckily for me, I seem to have outgrown this issue but I know there are other people out there who still deal with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity on a daily basis.
Luckily for you, I’m here to tell you about some products I wish I had known about 15 years ago: LACTAID® Dairy Products.
They’re 100% real dairy products like milk, ice cream and cottage cheese, just without the lactose, so they are easy to digest with no discomfort. So people can enjoy the creamy, delicious taste of dairy that they love without worrying that the milk is going to mess with them.
Pretty cool, right? When the lovely folks at LACTAID® reached out to tell me about their current No More #DairyEnvy campaign, I immediately jumped at the chance to partner with them.
The No More #DairyEnvy campaign is committed to helping those with dairy sensitivity savor the full joy of dairy without unwanted discomfort. To help combat Dairy Envy in 2016, LACTAID® is partnering with Milk Bar – the dessert empire founded by James Beard award-winning pastry chef, Christina Tosi – to create treats made with LACTAID® so that those who are sensitive to dairy can enjoy their signature sweets.
This is the first in a series of 4 recipes I’ll be sharing with you guys over the next several months that are made with LACTAID® products! Do you have to be lactose-intolerant to enjoy these recipes? Nope! But they might make it a little easier to enjoy dessert with a friend or loved one who is dairy sensitive.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and we all know dessert is pretty much necessary for our love day celebrations, right? But choosing that dessert is always the hardest part!
A lot of people go the chocolate route, but milk chocolate can cause tummy troubles for dairy-sensitive folks as well, so I went a different route.
I made you bread pudding.
And I added peanut butter.
And then I topped it pretty red raspberries.
It’s like pb&j in dessert form.
And it’s delicious.
Here’s how you make it:

YUM! Peanut butter and raspberries 🙂 Thanks for sharing can’t wait to make this for my husband
These look so good! I mean it’s got peanut butter in it so it HAS to be delicious!
Loving this SO much! That raspberry smash on top is on point 🙂 Let have a bread pudding party together 🙂
I adore bread pudding- especially since moving down to New Orleans! This would be a fantastic Valentine’s Day treat for my PB & J loving fiance!
Yum! I wish my husband liked peanut butter!
Peanut butter and raspberry! Pinninggggg! I haven’t had bread pudding in forever. I love this lightened version.
Ummm bread pudding + peanut butter? Pretty much my dream dessert!
Can’t ever go wrong with PB&J! 🙂
Luckily I never had any problem with dairy, lately greek yogurt has been upsetting my stomach so I haven’t had it for awhile 🙁 This recipe sounds great, loving the peanut butter and raspberry combo!
I’ve had problems with dairy on and off for years. I find only certain types of dairy are issues and as long as I avoid them I’m fine. It’s strange to me how you can become intolerant to certain things within a food group, but not others. Our bodies are a web of mystery! This banana bread looks amazing and anything with peanut butter pulls at my heart.
This looks great, especially since I try and avoid milk. Thanks for sharing!!
This looks FANTASTIC!! (I’m not screaming, just super excited about peanut butter bread pudding!). I’m not lactose intolerant, but I love this #DairyEnvy campaign Lactaid is doing and I also love that they teamed up with Milk Bar for it – have you been? It’s amaze-balls! Pinning this now!
I am one of those lactose intolerant people! 🙂
Shoot! This sounds absolutely amazing!
You had me at peanut butter. Wow! Love these. Pinned.
Oh that combo of peanut butter raspberries sounds amazing! It reminds me of a unique take on classic PB & J, Pinned 🙂
Hi Lindsay, I have problems with lactose-intolerance too. And I know many people that have digestive problems after dairy products. Some of them keep drink traditional milk because their digestive problems are not so serious. But that’s not a good idea. Discomfort that we feel it’s a symptom of what is going on in our intestinal. Pathogenic bacteria starts to grow and multiply and damage our good gut bacteria. This situation lasting for a long time may cause serious problems and intestinal diseases. It also increase the risk of colon cancer.
It’s easy to get lactose-free products and use just the same as traditional ones.
I use Lactaid since I am mildly lactose intolerant, and I never feel like I have to miss out. I also am a GIANT bread pudding fan (we had it instead of wedding cake at our wedding) but I’ve never made it with peanut butter. I have to try this! My mouth is watering just thinking of it.
hope you love!
I don’t know what I’d do without Lactaid milk; I too am lactose intolerant and I LOVE dairy! Great recipe, Lindsay. I must try. Pinning for later.
This looks so good. I would love to try it but I’ve got to get some bread first. Yummy.
Mmmmm this looks divine!!!! I am going to try with with gluten free bread. This recipe is so simple and do-able, yet looks like the most bomb dot comb treat ever!!
yay! hope you enjoy!
This looks RIDICULOUSLY good! I love bread pudding and I LOOOOOOOOVE Peanut butter! Pinning!
I’ve been on such a roll making your recipes lately – just last week I made the Crockpot Meatballs, Mac & Cheese with Sausage and Peas, and the Sweet Potato Bites! I’m adding this to make recipes-to-try list! Looks delicious 🙂
