Description

This Easy Homemade Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole combines the warm, gooey sweetness of cinnamon rolls with a classic French toast custard, baked to perfection for a comforting breakfast or brunch dish. Utilizing refrigerated cinnamon rolls makes this recipe incredibly simple and quick to prepare, perfect for busy mornings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Base

  • 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)

Custard Mixture

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the melted butter evenly onto the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Cut and Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Slice each cinnamon roll into 8 pieces and spread them evenly over the buttered bottom of the dish, ensuring a uniform layer.
  3. Make the Custard: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine and Drizzle Syrup: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Then, pour 1 cup of maple syrup evenly over the entire mixture to add sweetness and moisture.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25 minutes until the custard is set and the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and slightly golden.
  6. Add Icing: Once removed from the oven, drizzle the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls over the hot casserole for a rich, sweet finish.
