Print Recipe

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole transforms canned cinnamon rolls into the ultimate make-ahead breakfast bake with gooey cinnamon flavor and creamy egg custard. Perfect crowd-pleasing brunch topped with warm cream cheese icing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (17.5 oz) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (2% or whole)
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • Optional Streusel Topping:
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cold butter (cubed)
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour melted butter into bottom of 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • 2. Remove cinnamon rolls from cans, cut each roll into 8 pieces. Spread evenly over butter in dish.
  • 3. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth. Pour evenly over cinnamon roll pieces. Let soak 5 minutes.
  • 4. Optional: Make streusel by cutting cold butter into flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon with fork or fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle over top.
  • 5. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and center is set (not jiggly). While baking, microwave icing packets 10 seconds to soften.
  • 6. Remove from oven. Drizzle warmed icing generously over hot casserole. Serve immediately with extra syrup.

Notes

  • Use any brand refrigerated cinnamon rolls; Pillsbury Grands work great.
  • Make ahead: Assemble night before, cover, refrigerate. Bake straight from fridge (may need +5 minutes).
  • Streusel optional but adds crunch contrast to creamy custard.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in microwave; icing may need warming.
  • Serves 8-10 generously perfect holiday brunch or sleepover breakfast.
