Easily prepare a sweet treat with this Honey Bun Bread Pudding recipe. It’s easy to assemble with simple ingredients, leaving you with a custard-like pudding full of sweet, cinnamon flavor.

If you’re a fan of bread pudding, you need to give this recipe a try. You may have always wondered how it’s made, but you no longer have to wonder anymore when following this stress-free, straightforward recipe. Use packaged honey buns with other ingredients to make a sweet and fulfilling treat that will quickly become a household favorite.

Homemade Honey Buns Dessert

Honeybuns are the perfect treat for anyone with a sweet tooth, but what if there were a way to take the sweet dessert to the next level? You can easily do so by using your favorite brand of honey buns to prepare this incredible Honey Bun Bread Pudding. All you have to do is combine the buns with several ingredients, such as sugar, milk, and eggs, to make an undeniably delicious pudding that you can enjoy for breakfast or as a snack!

Ingredients Needed for the Bread Pudding Dessert

  • Honey Buns – Be sure to have 12 honey buns that you can dice into pieces.

  • Eggs – You’re going to need six large eggs for this recipe.

  • Unsalted Butter – Melt your butter and then allow it to cool a bit before you use it.

  • Granulated Sugar – Use just a bit of sugar for a sweet touch in this pudding.

  • Cinnamon – You can’t go wrong with a pinch of cinnamon added to the mix.

You’re also going to need some vanilla extract and whole milk. If you’d like to make the optional cinnamon glaze, be sure to have powdered sugar, whole milk, and ground cinnamon to use.

Why You Should Make This Bread Pudding with Sweet Bread

  1. It’s such a simple, stress-free way to make one of your favorite desserts.

  2. The honey buns add such a special touch to the traditional taste of bread pudding, making this dish even more delicious than you can imagine.

  3. It won’t take much time or effort to prepare this dessert that you can expect your loved ones to enjoy!

What types of honey buns should I use?

The best honey buns to use are traditional honey buns, which you can easily find at any grocery store. One of my personal favorites is Kristy Kreme Brand Honey Buns! If you love the iced ones better than the regular honey buns, feel free to use them for a super sweet bread pudding. Also, if you like to make your own honey buns from scratch, you can always do that and use them in this recipe. It’s entirely up to you!

Can I use a sugar substitute?

Yes, you can use a sugar substitute, such as stevia or my personal favorite, splenda. However, it might alter the taste of the bread pudding a bit, so that is something you’d need to consider. Your best bet is to stick with traditional granulated sugar when you’re preparing this baked dessert.

How long does it take to make this dish?

It takes about an hour from start to finish to prepare this bread pudding. You’ll spend roughly 10 minutes preparing the ingredients, followed by letting it cook for 50 minutes, so you don’t have to worry about wasting much time in the kitchen trying to assemble it.

Do I have to use cinnamon?

No, you don’t have to use cinnamon, but it does add a special touch to this pudding, you can always do just a regular icing glaze!

Notes & Suggestions

  1. It might seem like this recipe is full of sugar, but it has less sugar than typical bread puddings because the honey buns are already sweet enough without having to add too much more to it.

  2. If you’re a fan of custard-like bread pudding, you’re going to enjoy this recipe even more because it has that custardy texture.

  3. You can expect the top of this bread to get slightly crisp and caramelized. However, the inside will stay soft, moist, and warm, making this Honey Bun Bread Pudding absolutely irresistible.

How to Store Leftovers

You can store your bread pudding in the dish that you baked it in, covering it with a glass lid or aluminum foil, whichever you have available to use. If you want to save space, allow your bread pudding to cool before transferring it to a food storage container with a lid that would take up a bit less space than the baking dish.

Extra Notes

There is less sugar in this recipe than other bread puddings due to the honeybuns already being sweet.
This bread pudding is more on the custardy side.


I love that the top gets crisp and caramelized while the inside stays soft.
I have not tried this recipe with frosted honeybuns, just regular as I made my own homemade glaze for this recipe.

Ingredients
  

15 servings

    Prep Time: 10 minutes

      Cook Time: 50 minutes

      • 12 cups medium-diced honeybuns
      • 6 large eggs beaten
      • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
      • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
      • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      • 4 cups whole milk

      Optional cinnamon glaze:

      • 2 cups powdered sugar
      • 4 tablespoons whole milk
      • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

      Instructions

      • Spray a 9x13 with cooking spray. Place the diced honeybuns into the baking dish and set aside.
      • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla until combined.
      • Add the milk and gently whisk it in.
      • Pour this mixture over the honeybuns and press down with a spoon so the honeybuns are submerged.
      • Let this sit for 30 minutes to give the honeybuns time to soak up the custard.
      • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
      • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is browned and puffed.

      You know it’s ready when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

      • Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving, serve warm, room temperature, or cold!
      • To serve with optional cinnamon glaze, in a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour this over the bread pudding in the pan or over slices.
      • ENJOY!
