Description

Nothing beats the comforting aroma of cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven, especially when transformed into a warm, gooey breakfast casserole. With just five simple ingredients, this decadent dish is easy to make and perfect for cozy mornings or holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls (12 oz each)
  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the tubes of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Spread the pieces evenly across the greased dish.
  • Make Custard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Assemble: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring they are fully coated.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  • Finish: While the casserole is still warm, drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the top.
  • Serve: Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite breakfast beverages or toppings!

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: Reheat portions in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven at 325°F until warmed through.
  • Optional Add-Ons: Add chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning for a stress-free breakfast.
