Description
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are a genius mashup of two breakfast classics—cinnamon rolls and French toast—in one irresistible bite-sized treat! Ready in just 20 minutes, they’re golden, soft, cinnamon-swirled, and perfect for brunch, holidays, or lazy weekend mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
2 large eggs
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Maple syrup or icing from cinnamon rolls (optional, for serving)
Instructions
-
Open cinnamon rolls and set icing aside. Cut each roll into bite-sized pieces.
-
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined.
-
Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
-
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bites in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
-
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Transfer to a plate and drizzle with icing or maple syrup. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
-
For extra crispiness, cook in two batches and avoid overcrowding.
-
Try using flavored icing or cream cheese drizzle for variation.
-
Serve with fresh berries or bacon on the side for a full breakfast spread.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer.
