Description

This Cinnamon Roll French Toast is a cozy, budget-friendly brunch recipe that turns a simple tube of cinnamon rolls into a warm, gooey, and crowd-pleasing breakfast casserole. With just a few pantry staples, it’s the perfect solution for weekend mornings or easy breakfast-for-dinner nights.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tube refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 eggs

¼ cup milk (any kind)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup maple syrup


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

  • Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces, about 8 pieces per roll.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

  • Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish and spread the cinnamon roll pieces evenly over it.

  • Drizzle the egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls.

  • Pour the maple syrup evenly over the top.

  • Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.

  • While still warm, spread the included icing over the top and serve.

Notes

For a creamier texture, add an extra egg to the custard.

To serve a larger group, double the recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch dish.
