Ingredients

  • 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole or almond)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1 serving Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing)
  • 1 serving Maple syrup, for serving
  • 1 serving Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Cut each roll into quarters and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar (if using) until fully combined.
  4. Take the quartered cinnamon roll pieces and dip them into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
  5. Place the coated cinnamon roll pieces into the greased baking dish in a single layer, spreading them out evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Make sure to check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  8. Open the icing packet that came with the cinnamon rolls and drizzle it over the baked bites while they're still warm.
  9. For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  10. Serve warm with maple syrup on the side for dipping.

💡 Chef's Notes

For extra sweetness, consider adding sugar to the egg mixture.
