Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Icing from the cinnamon rolls (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Coat Bites: Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated with the batter.
- Cook Bites: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the coated cinnamon roll bites in batches and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm: Remove the cooked bites from the skillet and keep them warm while cooking the remaining pieces.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon roll French toast bites warm with the included icing drizzled on top and maple syrup on the side for dipping. Optionally, for extra crispiness, finish the bites in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes after pan-frying.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place the cooked bites in a preheated 375°F oven for 5 minutes after pan-frying.
- These bites make a great brunch item or a fun weekend breakfast treat.
- Use maple syrup for dipping to complement the sweet and cinnamony flavors.
