Description

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are a delightful and quick breakfast or brunch option combining the sweetness of cinnamon rolls with the fluffy texture of French toast.


Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with included icing or glaze)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter for greasing the skillet
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, cream cheese glaze, powdered sugar, or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each into quarters or smaller bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Gently toss the cinnamon roll pieces in the egg mixture until they’re evenly coated but not soggy.
  4. Heat a skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Once melted, add the soaked cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning often, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Stack the warm French toast bites on a serving plate. Drizzle with the included icing, warm maple syrup, or cream cheese glaze.
  6. Enjoy while warm, optionally topped with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Be gentle when tossing the cinnamon roll pieces to avoid breaking them apart.
  • Ensure the skillet isn’t overcrowded during cooking to prevent uneven cooking.
  • Use the included icing or prepare your favorite glaze to customize the flavor.
