Ingredients
For the Rolls:
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing, typically 8-count
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Butter for frying
For Serving:
- Icing from cinnamon roll package
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar optional
- Additional cinnamon optional
Instructions
Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:
-
Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Separate the rolls and set aside the icing for later use.
-
Use a rolling pin to flatten each cinnamon roll into a thin disc. This makes it easier to soak up the egg mixture.
Make the French Toast Mixture:
-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
Dip and Cook the Rolls:
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to melt.
-
Dip each flattened cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
-
Place the dipped rolls in the heated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
-
Warm the icing from the cinnamon roll package in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s pourable.
-
Drizzle the icing over the cooked French toast rolls.
-
Optionally, you can also drizzle maple syrup, sprinkle additional cinnamon, or dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Enjoy:
-
Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls warm for a deliciously comforting breakfast or brunch.
