Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding – Cinnamon buns and bread pudding collide in this luscious cinnamon laced breakfast or brunch treat. I am a true lover of bread pudding in any flavor. When my friend Lori Lange creator of The Recipe Girl, included this Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding in her latest cookbook, I knew I had to try it.
Lori’s cookbook has so many great dishes frankly, it was hard to choose where to start. She has a super simple home roasted lemon, herb and garlic chicken that every family needs in their dinner menu recipe file. As well as tasty appetizers, salads and kid-friendly food like her corn dog mini muffins and gooey cheese pepperoni pizza pull-apart bread. There are also theme menus and tips for successful entertaining. This recipe is just a sampling of the great ideas and recipes she offers.

I enjoy any flavor of bread pudding. As far as I’m concerned you can’t go wrong with it!! And it uses up my homemade breads, so it’s a win win for us–the bread doesn’t go to waste, and we get a sweet treat, mainly for breakfast.
BTW if you add some ham into it, it makes an awesome breakfast!!

I think chocolate would be my favorite – even better with pecans or walnuts. Apple is also on my list of favorites. Shirley at [email protected]

I LOVE bread pudding!! But one thing I think this is missing is the wait time before baking. At least 45 minutes. You want the bread to absorb all the egg mixture so the texture of the bread breaks down somewhat.
This would be good with warmed REAL maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.
Gotta go; I’m drooling all over myself!

I have always made plain bread pudding with milk, half&half, eggs, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. I add a small handful of raisins on occasion after pouring the ingredients. I live in Pittsburgh and most people I know have never had Bread Pudding…my girls love it and it is a huge hit any time I make it. I am going to make this recipe tonight as it looks so simple and delicious. This may be my new favorite!
