Here’s a decadent and delicious recipe for Cinnamon Roll French Toast—sweet, gooey, and perfect for breakfast or brunch.
🍞 Cinnamon Roll French Toast
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter, for cooking
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, cream cheese glaze, fresh fruit
Instructions
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
2. Slice the Cinnamon Rolls
- Slice each cinnamon roll horizontally in half so you have two layers per roll.
- If rolls are very small, you can leave them whole.
3. Dip in Egg Mixture
- Dip each cinnamon roll half (or whole roll) into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
- Let excess drip off.
4. Cook the French Toast
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place dipped cinnamon rolls in the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve
- Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, cream cheese glaze, or fresh fruit.
Tips & Variations
- Cream cheese glaze: Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp cream cheese, and 1 tsp milk for a quick glaze.
- Extra gooey: Use slightly underbaked cinnamon rolls for a soft, melty center.
- Add nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top for crunch.
- Baked version: Arrange cinnamon roll halves in a greased baking dish, pour egg mixture over, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes.
This Cinnamon Roll French Toast is sweet, soft, and indulgent, combining the best of classic cinnamon rolls and French toast in one delicious breakfast.
