Ingredients
- 1 can 12-13 oz refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter for cooking
- Maple syrup or cream cheese icing for serving
Instructions
- Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Slice each cinnamon roll into four bite-sized pieces. Set the icing aside for later.
- Prepare the French Toast Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip the Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Coat each piece in the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully covered but not overly soaked.
- Cook Until Golden: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter. Add the coated cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy: Drizzle with warmed cream cheese icing or maple syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries.
Notes
- Don’t soak the cinnamon roll pieces for too long—just a quick dip is enough!
- If you prefer extra crispy bites, cook them a little longer for a caramelized exterior.
- The cream cheese icing can be microwaved for a few seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a soft texture or in the oven at 350°F for a crispier finish.
