Soft and cozy cinnamon roll bread pudding muffins made with cubes of cinnamon rolls or bread soaked in a sweet custard and baked until golden brown. Finished with cream cheese icing, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cinnamon rolls or bread, cubed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Cream cheese icing for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. Place the cubed cinnamon rolls or bread into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and gently stir until evenly coated.
  5. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Drizzle cream cheese icing over the warm muffins before serving.

Notes

  • Leftover cinnamon rolls work perfectly for extra sweetness and flavor.
  • Brioche, challah, or cinnamon swirl bread create the best soft texture.
  • Add raisins, chopped pecans, or walnuts for extra texture.
  • Cream cheese cubes can be mixed into the batter for a richer flavor.
  • Top with maple syrup or caramel drizzle for additional sweetness.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
