Ingredients

  • unsalted butter

    melted

    2 tbsp
  • refridgerated cinnamon rolls
    1 can
  • eggs

    room temperature

    3 large
  • milk

    room temperature

    ¼ c
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • ground cinnamon
    1 tsp
  • maple syrup
    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C) for at least 20 - 30 minutes before baking the cinnamon roll casserole. Grease an 8 x 8 (20 cm) baking dish with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter.

  2. 2

    Cut the canned cinnamon rolls into pieces. Each cinnamon roll can be cut into 6 - 8 equally sized pieces. Place the cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Set the icing packet aside for topping the cinnamon roll casserole after baking.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon until well combined. Whisk in the maple syrup until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the cinnamon custard on top of the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Bake the french toast cinnamon rolls for about 25 minutes. The edges of the baked cinnamon rolls should pull slightly away from the edges of the baking dish. The custard should be set and a toothpick inserted into the center should yield a few moist crumbs.

  5. 5

    Cool the cinnamon roll french toast casserole for 10 - 15 minutes. Top the cinnamon rolls with the reserved icing packet.

Craving a truly decadent breakfast or brunch that feels special but is incredibly simple to prepare? This Cinnamon Roll French Toast recipe delivers on all fronts, transforming humble refrigerated cinnamon rolls into an extraordinary, rich, and cinnamon-spiced delight.

What makes this recipe truly stand out is its clever foundation: using pre-made cinnamon rolls eliminates the usual fuss of making French toast from scratch. Each roll soaks up a luscious cinnamon spiced custard, ensuring every bite is moist, tender, and bursting with warm flavors.

Prepare yourself for an utterly indulgent experience. Each piece of French toast, whether pan-fried or baked, will be golden brown on the outside with a soft, sweet, and custardy interior. The familiar warmth of cinnamon combined with the rich sweetness of the maple syrup creates a comforting and satisfying dish that's impossible to resist. It's a delightful twist on a classic, offering a richer flavor and more tender texture than traditional French toast, all with minimal effort.

One of the best features of this Cinnamon Roll French Toast is its adaptability. You can prepare it as individual French toast slices, pan-fried to golden perfection, or transform it into a decadent Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole for a crowd. Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preference, making it as sweet as you like or serving it on the side for individual customization.
