Cinnamon Sugar Cronut Bread Pudding

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We had such a fun week with Brett’s family visiting–a full house, lots of good food, laughter, and late nights! They left yesterday and the day felt a little gloomy. So I went and made something sweet to pick me right up 🙂 

Cinnamon Sugar Cronut Bread Pudding you guys! Cronuts- a cross between a croissant and a donut– in rich, butter, gooey bread pudding. It’s gonna be my new favorite weekend indulgence. 

You know, aside from a warm chocolate chip cookie ????

We made a donut run to our favorite bakery on Christmas Eve (we really wanted Brett’s family to experience a VG donut). We showed up ten minutes til closing and they were all out of donuts 🙁 The owner saw the disappointment on our faces, ran to the back and handed us an ENTIRE BOX of Cinnamon Sugar Cronuts (they actually call them Dosasaints but same, same).

My sister-in-law always has brilliant food creations in her head and she suggested making a bread pudding with the leftover cronuts! Best idea ever!

If you can’t find cinnamon sugar cronuts, you can make it whith cinnamon sugar donuts, a cinnamon sugar loaf, cinnamon sugar croissants, or any flavored cronut, really. You can’t go wrong. 

Whip this up for your New Year’s Eve party and go out with a big bang!! Everyone will love ya!
