Description
Soft, pillowy bites of cinnamon rolls transformed into golden, crispy French toast—coated in cinnamon-sugar and finished with a drizzle of icing. A sweet and cozy treat perfect for brunch or a snack.
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- Open the cinnamon roll can and cut each roll into quarters.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the bites for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown on all sides.
- While still warm, roll the cooked bites in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
- Drizzle with the included icing and serve immediately.
Notes
Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the egg mixture for extra warmth.
Top with chopped pecans or whipped cream for a special touch.
Serve with fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture; microwave in a pinch.
