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

Method

  4. Assemble: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. 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.
  6. Finish: While the casserole is still warm, drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the top.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite breakfast beverages or toppings!
