A delicious and easy French Toast Cinnamon Roll Casserole made with refrigerated cinnamon rolls soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla custard, baked to golden perfection, and topped with sweet icing. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Base

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls

Custard

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (120 ml) maple syrup

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for greasing)
  • Reserved icing packet from cinnamon rolls

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for at least 20-30 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature. Grease an 8×8 inch (20 cm) baking dish with 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the canned cinnamon rolls into 6 to 8 equally sized pieces each to create bite-sized portions. Arrange the pieces in a single layer at the bottom of the greased baking dish. Set aside the icing packet for later use.
  3. Whisk Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk the 3 eggs until lightly beaten. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon and whisk well until combined. Gradually whisk in the maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until the edges start pulling away from the sides of the dish, the custard is set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 10 to 15 minutes outside the oven. Drizzle or spread the reserved icing packet over the top before serving to add sweetness and enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for best custard consistency.
  • Make sure to preheat the oven thoroughly to ensure even baking.
  • The casserole can be refrigerated overnight before baking for a make-ahead option.
  • Adjust cinnamon and maple syrup quantities to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
  • Serve with additional maple syrup or fresh fruit if desired.
