Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make This With Flavored Donut Holes?

Making this donut hole bread pudding with flavored donut holes is a great idea. You can easily change up the flavor of this dessert by changing the donuts that you are using.

You can even swap out the flavor of cake mix you use to match the flavor of donuts for a unique flavor.

Is Bread Pudding Breakfast or Dessert?

Typically bread pudding is considered a dessert. It is one of those things that a lot of people will also eat as a breakfast because it goes well with coffee. Eating donut hole bread pudding for breakfast is a delicious treat and should definitely be enjoyed but it isn't something that is considered breakfast... but neither are donuts and we all love to eat them on our way out the door.

Should I Top This With Glaze?

This is one of those recipes that it is up to you if you want to add glaze. You can easily add a simple powdered sugar glaze or a cream cheese glaze if you want to take an extra step. If you want to tone down the sugar or you do not always like dessert with a glaze, you can easily skip adding glaze and it will not feel like you are missing anything.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time and Freeze?

I love making this ahead of time because it saves me time when I want to serve it. It is also great because I might have the donut holes today but do not want to serve this Bread Pudding recipe for another 2 weeks. I can make this ahead of time and freeze it. Then I can reheat it when it is time to serve it. If it is done well, this recipe can last up to a month in the freezer.

How Long is Homemade Bread Pudding Good For?

This is good for about a week after you make it. If you are not going to finish the batch of bread pudding, you should freeze it so that it lasts longer. If you know that you will not eat all of it, freeze it in smaller batches. Then you can take out a serving or two at a time to enjoy.
