Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 eggs large

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish.
  2. Open the cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Set the icing aside for later.
  3. Place the cut rolls evenly into the prepared dish.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using).
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, pressing down gently to coat.

  7. Let cool for 10–15 minutes, then drizzle with the reserved icing and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for a deeper fall spice flavor.
