Donut Bread Pudding Recipes

DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small glass baking dish.
• Tear the donuts into bite-size pieces. Combine donut pieces and raisins in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the milk mixture over the donuts in the dish, and press down lightly to help absorption. Let stand for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place the baking dish inside a larger baking dish, and fill the outer dish with enough water to go about halfway up the sides. A dishcloth may also be placed under the bread dish, to prevent drying.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

• Whisk half-and-half, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour half-and-half mixture over donuts and apples in the baking dish. Let sit until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Cool and drizzle with maple syrup.

SLOW-COOKER DOUGHNUT BREAKFAST BAKE

Steps:

• Line inside of 5-qt. slow cooker with a double layer of heavy duty foil; spray insert and foil with cooking spray. Layer half the doughnut pieces in slow cooker; top with half the apples. Repeat with remaining doughnuts and apples. In large bowl, whisk together cream, eggs and vanilla; pour over doughnut pieces and apples. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over doughnut mixture., Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until set. Remove insert. Let stand, uncovered, 20 minutes.

CAKE DOUGHNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, line with parchment and spray again. Place the doughnut pieces in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add the eggs and whisk to combine so that it's all the same light yellow color. Let sit for 3 minutes and whisk again.
• Pour the custard mixture over the doughnut pieces. Gently, press down a few times to make sure all the doughnut pieces are wet with custard. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
• In another bowl using a wooden spoon, mix together the brown sugar, butter and a pinch of salt. If it's loose, add more brown sugar until it gets crumbly. Sprinkle the top of the bread pudding with chunks of the sugar mixture.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or just until the bread pudding is only slightly jiggly in the center. To test, using an oven mitt, carefully grab the oven rack and give it a little shake. If the middle sloshes around, it's not done. If it gives a firm jiggle, it's done.
• Serve warm, cold or at room temperature, topped with ice cream.
