Description
A quick and irresistible breakfast treat that combines the warm spice of cinnamon rolls with the custardy crispiness of French toast. Perfect for brunches, holidays, or fun weekday mornings!
Ingredients
- 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing packet)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for cooking)
- Optional: 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar in egg mixture
Instructions
- Open the cinnamon roll can and cut each roll into 4–6 bite-sized pieces. Set icing aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon (and optional maple syrup or brown sugar).
- Gently toss cinnamon roll pieces in the egg mixture to coat.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter.
- Cook coated bites in a single layer, turning until all sides are golden brown and cooked through (2–3 minutes per side).
- Warm icing packet in the microwave for 10–15 seconds, then drizzle over bites.
- Serve warm with optional powdered sugar, syrup, or berries.
Notes
- Use nonstick skillet or griddle for best results.
- Let bites soak briefly in the batter — too long may make them soggy.
- Best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored and reheated.
