Description

This Cinnamon Roll French Toast recipe transforms classic refrigerated cinnamon rolls into a delightful and indulgent breakfast treat. Coated in a cinnamon-spiced egg mixture and pan-fried until golden brown, these bite-sized pieces are topped with creamy icing and optionally drizzled with maple syrup and powdered sugar, making for a quick and irresistible sweet brunch option.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8-count)

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking and Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces ready for dipping.
  2. Make Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined, providing a flavorful coating for the cinnamon roll pieces.
  3. Heat Skillet: Place a large nonstick skillet or griddle on medium heat and melt the unsalted butter, ensuring the cooking surface is evenly coated for toasting.
  4. Dip and Cook: Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, making sure it is thoroughly coated. Place the pieces in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  5. Serve: Transfer the cooked cinnamon roll French toast pieces to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the included icing from the cinnamon roll can. Optionally, add a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving to enhance sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of maple syrup or a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture before dipping.
  • This recipe can also be baked in a casserole dish at 350°F for 20–25 minutes as an alternative cooking method.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
