Description

This Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole is a delightful breakfast treat combining the sweet, spiced flavors of cinnamon rolls with a rich custard bake. It’s perfect for brunch or a special morning gathering, featuring tender cinnamon roll pieces soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla custard and baked to golden perfection, then topped with luscious icing.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing

Custard Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Arrange these pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Mix Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the dish. Press gently on the pieces to help them soak up the custard.
  5. Rest: Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes so the cinnamon rolls absorb the custard thoroughly.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  7. Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the casserole is golden brown on top and set in the center.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the included icing from the cinnamon roll cans over the top before serving warm.

Notes

  • Allowing the casserole to rest before baking ensures the cinnamon rolls soak up the custard fully for a moist texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter casserole, add extra maple syrup to the custard or drizzle additional syrup when serving.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the baked casserole into squares for neat serving portions.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute milk and heavy cream with almond or oat milk, though texture may vary.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat gently before serving.
