This Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast or any time of the day. Besides being so easy to make, everyone will come running to the kitchen when they get a whiff of the tantalizing aroma while baking!
Don't you just love the smell of cinnamon as it is baking? My mouth gets all watery in anticipation of what is to come! I especially love cinnamon rolls as they remind me of Christmas's past. These were always at the breakfast table.
My mom wasn't one to make these from scratch and instead bought the refrigerated rolls that came in an 8 pack. The problem was there were five of us and we all wanted two. So to appease everyone, the last few had to be cut in half - no fair, right?
Well today that problem is solved with this recipe that can be made in a 9x13 baking pan. My friend Alli from Tornadough Alli recently published a new cookbook called Untraditional Desserts: 100 Classic Desserts with a Twist. I received an advance copy and this cinnamon roll bread pudding was first on my list to try. We enjoyed it for an afternoon dessert treat!
Alli is a talented baker and her cookbook is one you will want to explore. A few recipes I want to make next are her Almond Joy Cupcakes, S'more Cookies and Blueberry Pie Bars to name a few.
Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding tips and tricks:
- Prepare the cinnamon rolls the night ahead for easy prep the next day (try to resist eating any 🙂 )
- You could also combine the liquid ingredients and keep in the refrigerator until the next day also
- When you combine the rolls and liquid be sure to let it sit for about 20 minutes so the rolls can absorb the liquid (I stir it a couple times during this process)
- Every oven is different so when baking, check the rolls until they are just set - if you think they are getting too brown, place a piece of foil over the top at the end
