Last month, I made a huge batch of biscuits. I really overestimated how many biscuits my family would eat. So, I was left with a lot of leftover biscuits. I mean a LOT.
I started looking into the best things to do with leftover biscuits and I was really surprised. You can transform leftover biscuits into almost anything!

I tried a few recipes to use my leftover biscuits and also my leftover biscuit dough and I definitely found a few new all-time favorite dishes. Take a look at the recipe I love and see which you will make with your leftover biscuits first!
Blueberry Bread Pudding Recipe
Bread pudding is one of my favorite things to make with old bread. I never thought to make it with leftover biscuits until now!
Baked biscuits are actually really good in bread pudding. They are soft, buttery and absorb a lot of the bread pudding egg mix. The biscuits and blueberries bake into a subtly sweet, tender pudding that is incredible.
Serve this dessert warm out of the oven. I highly recommend adding a little whipped cream.
Easy Eggless Biscuit Cake Recipe
Biscuit cake is quite an interesting dessert. I didn’t realize making cake out of leftover biscuits was so popular! Not only is it popular, but it is also quite delicious.
This chocolate biscuit cake recipe is definitely my favorite. It is made with thick biscuits that are chopped up into a fine crumbly texture.The biscuits are then mixed with milk, oil, vanilla, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. The recipe also uses almonds but this is completely optional.
The mix is baked just like any cake batter and it becomes a fluffy, pleasantly light cake. Try this recipe and I guarantee you will be amazed at the transformation of your leftover biscuits.
Easy Monkey Bread Recipe
You can make bakery-worthy monkey bread with just 5 ingredients. Yes, you read that correctly- just 5 simple ingredients!
This recipe will show you how to make fantastic monkey bread using leftover biscuit dough.
Biscuit dough is cut into small pieces and tossed with some cinnamon and sugar. Melted butter and brown sugar is poured over the biscuit pieces and baked. That is all you need to do!
Definitely read over the tips and tricks in this recipe before making it. I found them to be very helpful with the baking process. Little tips like getting the dessert out of the pan while it is warm are essential.Leftover Biscuit Apple Cobbler
I adore apple cobbler but once I tried apple cobbler made with biscuits, I was even more hooked.
The soft, pillowy biscuits complement the sweet apples perfectly. I now purposely make extra biscuits just so I can make this cobbler recipe the next day.
The recipe recommends drizzling the biscuit cobbler with caramel sauce and I definitely agree with this suggestion.
Caramel, cinnamon, and apples are one of the best fall combinations ever. Add buttery biscuits to that mix and you will be in heaven.Biscuit Banana Bread Pudding Is Even Better Than It Sounds
Talk about an over-the-top dessert! This biscuit banana bread pudding has it all. Everything you could ever want in a dessert is included in this tower of treats.
Day-old biscuits are mixed with mashed bananas, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and white chocolate pistols. The mix is baked into a soft, rich bread pudding and then scooped into bowls.Some whipped cream, honey oat crunch, and vanilla wafer cookies are added on top of the bread pudding to make a picture-perfect dessert.
Feel free to add your own toppings to the bowl. I like adding fresh blueberries and strawberries to give the bread pudding a little color. You can’t go wrong with chocolate sauce either!
Fresh Peach Cobbler (Biscuit Topping)
A fresh peach cobbler is such a perfect summertime dessert.
You just can’t beat the taste of fresh peaches, marinated in honey and then placed on top of flakey biscuits. And to imagine you can have all this with leftovers… You definitely can!
This recipe uses peaches and plums along with fresh ginger to make the peach cobbler filling. The syrupy fruit is added to a biscuit and topped with fresh whipped cream.
The cobbler has the perfect blend of buttery and sweet, savory and sugary. I always have it with a glass of sauvignon blanc. You can’t go wrong with that combination!
Respectful Cooking – Biscuit Pudding with Bourbon Sauce
Making biscuit pudding is a classic way to use leftover biscuits. This recipe has been around for decades since it is so easy and also so tasty.
To make biscuit pudding, whisk up the vanilla custard in the recipe and then pour it over crumbled biscuits in a casserole dish.Bake the pudding until it is completely set. Then top the whole thing with some warm caramel bourbon sauce. Everyone will be asking for seconds of this incredible dessert!
I also think that whipped cream is essential on top of biscuit pudding. You need that fluffy cream to cut the heavy caramel sauce. Give it a try and I bet you’ll agree.
Toffee Biscuit Bread Pudding
I am obsessed with this bread pudding. I usually like bread pudding anyway thanks to its caramel taste but this toffee biscuit bread pudding takes it to the next level.
Toffee bits are added into the bread pudding mix as well as chocolate chips. The day-old biscuits soak up the sweet cream and butter and create a gooey, incredible pudding.
Scoop some vanilla ice cream on top of the toffee bread pudding and you will be in heaven. This is a dessert I just can’t resist.
EASY Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits
You can make this dessert in just a few minutes. This is possible because you already have leftover biscuits to use! All you need to do now is make the strawberry filling and the whipped cream.
Marinated, sliced strawberries are placed on top of buttery biscuits. If the biscuits are a little dry, that is totally okay since the strawberry syrup will soak right into them. Add a little whipped cream and you have a quick, tasty, summer dessert.
I like to add a little fresh vanilla bean scrapings to my marinated strawberries. The pretty black specks and vanilla taste are really great with the fresh berries.

If you already have baked biscuits, simply slice them in half and add the french dip ingredients to the middle. Heat up the biscuit sandwich and then enjoy!
Don’t forget the au jus sauce on the side. It is key to a good French dip! I like the premade jars of au jus you can find in the grocery store but don’t be afraid to make your own. Homemade au jus is also delicious.

Dinner doesn’t have to take hours to put together. You also don’t need to make everything completely from scratch.

Garlic Parmesan Biscuit Pull Apart Bread - Cook Eat Go
I love garlic bread but I rarely make it. I either don’t have leftover bread or I don’t have time to make fresh bread. Then, I discovered biscuit garlic bread and now I have been making this recipe quite often.

I am crazy about this savory monkey bread. Monkey bread is typically super sweet and dessert-like. This biscuit dough monkey bread is spicy and cheesy- two of my favorite things!
The recipe uses canned jalapenos but feels free to use fresh, chopped jalapenos which have just as much spice and a little more crunch.

Serve these as an appetizer or side dish to your meal. They are especially good with Mexican foods.

Four ingredients are all you need to make incredible, irresistible cheese bombs. Just a quick warning that you won’t be able to resist these little buttery biscuits. You are going to want to eat quite a few of them. I know I did!

Biscuit French Toast
Get ready to try your new favorite breakfast. Making buttermilk biscuit french toast is one of the best things you can do with leftover biscuits.
Not only does it taste great, but it only takes a few minutes to whip up. It really is one of my favorite morning meals.
Leftover buttermilk biscuits are soaked in a mix of eggs, cinnamon and milk. Using day old biscuits actually helps the biscuits absorb more of the french toast mix.
Once the biscuits are soaked, fry them in a skillet until they are perfect and golden brown.
Add some maple syrup or fresh fruit to create the perfect breakfast. Some fresh berries are also a great touch.
Leftover Biscuit Croutons
Leftover buttermilk biscuits make incredible croutons. These croutons may actually be the best I have ever had. I think the slight tang from the buttermilk biscuits is what makes them so incredible.
To make leftover biscuit croutons, all you need to do is chop up your biscuits, toss them in some butter and herbs and then dehydrate them in the oven. This recipe will show you exactly how to do it!
Store your croutons in an airtight container for up to a week. Add these herby croutons to any salad or just eat them as a snack!Monkey Bread Minis
If you have leftover buttermilk biscuit dough, monkey bread minis are what you should make. These super sweet little muffin bites really benefit from the tangy taste of buttermilk in the biscuit dough.

The result is small, bite-sized monkey bread muffins that are perfect for breakfast or for dinner.
