This Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is a sweet, overnight breakfast casserole. It’s topped with an easy, crunch cinnamon crumble. Brunch perfection! 

I love the holiday season, but it is so busy! I find that we’re often so busy with family and work that it’s tough to fit in a holiday party with our friends!
 
Which is a bummer, because our friends are FUN! If that’s the case for you as well, I have a solution. Holiday brunch! 
 
Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding
 
That’s right! Holiday brunch is so much easier to fit in during this busy time of the year. Grab a Sunday afternoon, your friends and make it happen!
 
For our holiday brunches, I like to make this Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding. This delicious “dessert for breakfast” recipe is what happens when cinnamon rolls meet bread pudding! 
 
Cinnamon Roll Cake
 
I grab tubes of store bought  cinnamon rolls to use as my base for this dish. I bake the cinnamon rolls according to package directions and allow them to cool.
 
Then, I combine cinnamon roll pieces with a wet mixture of whisked eggs, milk and vanilla.
 
 
The cinnamon roll pieces act like a sponge and soak up the eggs, milk and vanilla. You can allow this to happen overnight in your refrigerator, or over the course of an hour!
 
Before baking, I top with an easy brown sugar and cinnamon crumb. This will provide you with a crunchy topping for your dense and creamy Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding!

Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
This Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is a sweet, overnight breakfast casserole. It's topped with an easy, crunch cinnamon crumble. Brunch perfection! 

Ingredients

  • 2 cans of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
  • 1.5 cups milk 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  •  
  • For the cinnamon crumb topping: 
  • 3 tbsp flour 
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar 
  • ½ tsp cinnamon 
  • 2-3 tbsp cold butter

Instructions

  1. Bake cinnamon rolls according to package instructions. Reserve the included icing for later. Allow rolls to cool. 
  2. Grease a 9x9'' baking pan. 
  3. Tear cinnamon roll pieces into small bites and put in the greased pan. 
  4. In a small mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs and vanilla and whisk well to combine. 
  5. Pour the milk and eggs mixture over the top of the torn cinnamon rolls. Use your hands (I promise it's the best way!) to combine the wet mixture with the cinnamon rolls, making sure the cinnamon roll pieces are well coated. 
  6. Cover, and allow to rest in the refrigerator overnight, or at least for one hour. 
  7. In a small bowl, make the cinnamon crumb topping. Combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. 
  8. Slowly cut in the cold butter, mashing with a fork to combine with the dry ingredients until it resembles pebbles. 
  9. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumb over the top of the cinnamon roll cake.
  10. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes, until the cinnamon crumb mixture slightly hardens. 
  11. Drizzle the reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls over the top and serve warm.
