A Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole is a rich, sweet breakfast bake that combines cinnamon rolls with classic French toast flavors. It’s popular for weekends, holidays, or when you want something easy but indulgent.
Here’s a simple, reliable version:
🍞 Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
Ingredients:
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish.
- Cut cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together:
- eggs
- milk
- vanilla
- cinnamon
- maple syrup (optional)
- Pour mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard.
- Bake for 25–35 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
- Warm the included icing and drizzle on top before serving.
Tips:
- Add chopped apples or pecans for extra texture
- Don’t overbake or it will dry out
- Serve warm with extra syrup or whipped cream if you like it sweeter
