Description

This Easy Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole combines the classic flavors of cinnamon rolls with a creamy custard base, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a weekend or holiday breakfast, it features tender pieces of cinnamon rolls soaked in a rich mixture of eggs, cream, maple syrup, and cinnamon, then topped with a sweet frosting drizzle for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 3 cans (17 oz. each) Grands Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with frosting

Custard Mixture

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and carefully set aside the included frosting packets. Remove the cinnamon rolls from the tubes and cut each roll into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Mix Custard Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, beaten eggs, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine and Bake: Place the cut cinnamon roll pieces into the prepared baking pan. Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown, puffy, and cooked through.
  5. Add Frosting and Serve: Warm the reserved frosting in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds until slightly softened. Drizzle the warmed frosting generously over the hot casserole before serving immediately for a deliciously sweet finish.
