Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Bread Pudding is a warm, comforting, sweet and easy-to-make breakfast treat.
You’ll love the pillows of sweet bread topped with a crisp cinnamon sugar topping. The topping is my favorite part! I add a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on the top of the casserole after it has baked, then I pop it under the broiler for just about a minute…just until the cinnamon-sugar becomes a crispy topping.
I also add a scattering of raisins and pecans, which are totally optional…but a really nice addition.
This is also easy enough to make during the week. It will keep well in the refrigerator and is just as tasty the next day.
