Slow Cooker Donut Bread Pudding

Delicious and easy slow cooker bread pudding that uses day-old donuts!  No donuts? Use bread and increase the sugar and the spices--voila!  Instant donuts!

I really hate to waste food!  What happened was my local store was selling the perennial New York fall treat, apple cider donuts, buy one get one.

Since I had my nephew visiting me, I wanted him to taste something that was so traditionally autumn in New York. We ate 2 then forgot about them. I know that sounds hard to believe; but we did.

Yummy donut flavor--where's the coffee?

I didn't want to waste them and since they were a bit on the hard side, I wouldn't eat them and microwaving them is just wrong IMO.

A former neighbor used to make fantastic bread puddings out of day old cake, danish and donuts, so I figured I'd give this a go myself.  I also wanted to try out my new casserole crockpot that I finally treated myself to.

I had company that evening and served this for dessert--hey, my guests know they might be "test subjects" any time they come for dinner.  The vote was a unanimous YES!!! on this. They just loved it.




Slow Cooker Donut Bread Pudding
  • 6-8 cake donuts (not the raised kind)*
  • 5 cups milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp mace


*You can use day-old french or Italian bread, but increase the sugar to 1 cup, the nutmeg to 1 tsp and the mace to 1/4 tsp--these 2 spices are the standard "donut" spices so the overall pudding will taste like cake donuts.


Cut donuts into small pieces about 1 inch.  Place in crockpot.


In a large bowl, beat eggs.  Whisk in the milk, sugar and spices.  Pour over donuts in crock pot.


Cover and cook on HI 4 hours, LOW 6-8 hours.
