Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake Simple and Tasty Treat

Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (16 oz each)
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 2 cup maple syrup
• 1 2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• to taste powdered sugar for dusting
• to taste extra cinnamon rolls icing (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Spread the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup until well combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
5. Gently press down on the cinnamon roll pieces to help them soak up the egg mixture and ensure even baking.
6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
7. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown and set.
8. Once baked, let it cool slightly before drizzling with any extra icing from the cinnamon rolls.
9. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and additional syrup if desired.
