Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
  • to taste Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  3. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.
  5. Add the quartered cinnamon roll pieces to the bowl, along with the optional nuts and raisins if using. Gently fold until all pieces are coated in the egg mixture.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. In the morning, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown on top.
  10. While the casserole is baking, warm the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
  11. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and drizzle the warmed icing over the top.
  12. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.
