Every culture has signature recipes, but Bread Pudding is a bit of a classic all around the world. I guess since bread is a pretty global thing, everyone was in need of a way to make all that stale bread delicious again! Bread pudding is a common dish in countries across North and South America as well as Asia and Europe. I’ve never seen any mention of it in Australian culture, but maybe there are a few of you out there who could tell me if it’s a thing down under too? Today we’re going further than bread pudding because google offers us more than 8 million recipes for that (in fact, Holly has one for Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce – YUM!), but there’s another doughy delectable that often goes stale too… DONUTS! Oh, who am I kidding, donuts never go stale, they usually didn’t even last an hour in my house growing up. Which means that this recipe is made with intention. Delicious Donut Intention. And you’re probably going to have to hide the donuts so they’re still kicking around when it comes time to make this dish. Okay, so we’re basically replacing the stale bread with soft yummy donuts to make Donut Bread Pudding. It’s important to use cake donuts because they’re more likely to absorb the egg and milk mixture. It’s also best to use plain or sugared donuts, not glazed.
You can use any flavor you want, this particular recipe is made with a mix of plain and chocolate donuts and donut holes. But if you really wanted to get crazy, you could use flavors like Blueberry, Pumpkin, Cider or Funfetti donuts! This Cake Donut Bread Pudding is such an easy, fun, and flavorful breakfast casserole (or maybe even dessert), it would be an awesome dish for potlucks or Sunday brunch and I promise everyone will be begging you for the recipe! Once baked up, this Cake Donut Bread Pudding has a custard-like base that’s loaded with delicious donuts bites! If you prefer your bread pudding to be less custardy, see the recipes notes for alternative measurements. It should be served warm and I love topping it with ice cream, whipped cream, or even a simple glaze, but it’s delicious as is too!
