    You are going to love this Oreo bread pudding recipe. This dish is perfect for breakfast or dessert, made with just a few simple ingredients and America's favorite cookie!

    Recipe: $4.95 | Per Serving: $0.62 | Servings: 8

    serving of oreo bread pudding on a plate.

    We love bread pudding around here, and this cookies and cream bread pudding is a favorite of ours for so many reasons. Soft, crispy, sweet, and chocolatey in every bite. It reminds us of our Oreo Cinnamon Rolls, but with far less effort.

    I took our Hamburger Bun Bread Pudding and adapted it for this recipe, and it was an instant hit. The cookies soften with the bread pudding, so serving is easy, and the top of the pudding gets crisp and golden for a nice combination of textures and flavors.

    You can serve this bread pudding for special occasions or any day of the week. Add it to your list of Christmas Breakfast Ideas or try it soon.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Basic ingredients. Using things like stale bread, butter, oreo cookies, milk, and eggs, we get a wonderful dish that is perfect for any time of the day. Minimal grocery shopping is needed (if any at all).
    2. You only need a sleeve of Oreos. One package of Oreo cookies has about 12-14 cookies in a single sleeve, leaving 2 more rows of cookies for recipes like Air Fried Oreo Cookies or 3 Ingredient Oreo Fudge. Of course, you could also just eat the cookies with a glass of milk.
    3. It's perfect for leftover bread. I like to keep a gallon-sized baggie in the freezer full of bread loaf ends and unused burger buns so that I can whip up a batch of bread pudding whenever I want.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredient Notes:

    Bread- You can use day old bread loaves, sliced sandwich bread, or burger buns. I like to either use the bread ends from sandwich bread, leftover buns from a cookout, or day old bread from the markdown section at Walmart.

    Brown sugar- Adds sweetness and a little depth of flavor thanks to the molasses.

    Oreo cookies- America's favorite cookie (and my son's favorite, too!). If you still have Oreos left over, check out our Cookies and Cream Pizookie and Oreo Bundt Cake.

    Glaze- We will make a glaze from butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    📖 Variations

    Using different flavors of oreo cookies will give you different results every time. I like to use the original regular cookies and cream oreos but you can use the peanut butter or mocha flavored ones for a more savory treat.

    Using mint oreos, peppermint oreos, or the carrot cake flavored oreos can be a great way to make this dish more festive and fun around the holidays.

    🔪 Instructions for Oreo Bread Pudding

    Step 1: Preheat your oven 350 degrees F and grease the inside of an 8x8 baking dish or a 2 quart sized casserole dish.

    Step 2: Place your cubed stale bread and quartered Oreos inside the pan. Mix well to distribute the cookies evenly.

    Step 4: Pour the mixture over the top of the bread. Try to get it to coat as much surface space as possible.

    Step 5: Lightly press down on the bread so that it's submerged into the egg mixture and becomes wet.

    Step 6: Bake the pudding in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a knife can be inserted and come out clean.

    Step 7: In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients with a whisk or rubber spatula until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the bread pudding.

    Step 8: Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Frugal Bread Tip. 1 hamburger bun or hotdog bun (top and bottom) equals about 1 cup of bread cubes, so aim for 6-7 buns in total. Alternatively, you can use sandwich bread or any other type of bread.
    2. Making Bread Stale. Fresh bread can be made stale by laying it out in a single layer on a baking sheet for 10 minutes at the lowest oven heat setting. However, using fresh bread is still delicious in this recipe.
    3. Egg Mixture. Ensure the egg mixture is well mixed to eliminate any streaks of unmixed egg white. Consider using a blender or electric mixer for thorough mixing.
    4. Adjusting Sweetness. You can tailor the sweetness of this dish to your preference by adjusting the amount of sugar. While it's perfectly balanced as-is, feel free to make it sweeter or less sweet according to your taste.

    🍳Reheating

    Microwave Method: For a single serving, reheat the bread pudding in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on a microwave-safe plate.

    Oven Method: For larger batches, preheat the oven to 350°F and reheat the bread pudding for 5-10 minutes.

    ⏲️Make Ahead Instructions

    Preparation: Prepare the dish the night before and leave it covered in the baking dish until morning.

    Baking: Place the dish on the counter as the oven preheats. Bake as directed in the recipe.

    Caution for Glass Dishes: If using a glass baking dish, allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes on the counter at room temperature before placing it into the oven to prevent potential shattering.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Can I freeze bread pudding?

    You can freeze baked bread pudding for up to 4 months if in a well sealed container (at least a few layers of foil). Make sure sauce has not been added before freezing.

    How do I know if bread pudding is ready?

    If you are unsure of doneness, make sure the internal temperature has reached at least 160 degrees F. The inside texture should be custard-like, but 160F means that the eggs are cooked, and you can consume safely.

    Can I make gluten free oreo bread pudding?

    By using gluten free bread and gluten free oreos you should be able to turn this recipe into a gluten free treat that everyone can enjoy!
