This slow cooker bread pudding with hot cross buns proved a real hit on the Maison Cupcake Facebook page. A whopping 22 of you shared it!
It’s so easy there’s barely a recipe but for completeness for my archives I am recording the recipe on the blog today.
I am also submitting it as my first entry as new co-host to Bake of the Week. Helen at Casa Costello has been merrily hosting Bake of the Week for ages but she’s taking a half step back to run it on a fortnightly basis with myself as she reboots her Aardvark Cakes baking business.
So thank you to Helen for letting me co-host this long running linky with her and I hope we can find lots of new regular folks who will add Bake of the Week to their linky regulars!
If you’ve not come across Bake of the Week before, let me sell it to you on the basis that there will always be a full round up AND lots of shares to social media rather than taking a gamble whether you get featured!

What a lovely round up . The bread pudding looks delicious, would be great with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
Yes it would and I actually prefer that to custard 🙂
I am LOVING the idea of bread and butter pudding made with hot cross buns in a slow cooker… AMAZEBALLS!!!!!
It’s so easy Katie, you must try it.
Oh wow that pud looks incredible! I really need a slow cooker…and to start eating sugar again!!! Thank you for featuring my granola bars!
I think you could sub the sugar here with an artificial sweetener if you’re ok with those. But some demerara on top does give it an extra glow!
