The comforting flavor of Cinnamon buns and bread pudding collide in this luscious cinnamon filled Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding recipe.

Easy Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding Recipe

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 making it difficult 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.
