This Easy Homemade Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole combines the best of cinnamon rolls and French toast into one delicious, effortless breakfast dish. With just 7 simple ingredients including refrigerated cinnamon rolls, eggs, milk, and maple syrup, it’s perfect for a cozy weekend brunch or special occasion morning.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

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

Custard Mixture

  • 6 large 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 on the bottom of a 9×13 glass baking dish to grease it and add flavor.
  2. Cut cinnamon rolls: Cut each refrigerated cinnamon roll into 8 pieces and spread them evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
  3. Mix custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine and add syrup: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pieces of cinnamon rolls in the dish. Then pour 1 cup of maple syrup over the entire mixture for added sweetness and moisture.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Add icing: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll tubes evenly over the top while warm.

Notes

  • This recipe requires just 7 simple ingredients, making it an easy and quick breakfast option.
  • Using premade refrigerated cinnamon rolls cuts down prep time significantly.
