Description
A quick and easy recipe for Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites—crispy, sweet, and perfect for a fun weekend brunch or holiday breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8 rolls)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Cut each roll into 4 bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
- Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture and allow excess to drip off.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add dipped roll pieces in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, microwave the reserved icing for 10–12 seconds until pourable.
- Transfer bites to a plate, drizzle with icing, and garnish with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure even browning.
- Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the outside while undercooking the inside.
- Chill the icing briefly after warming for a thicker drizzle.
- Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
