Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12.4 ounce) can refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or cooking spray
Instructions
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Reserve the icing packet. For smaller ‘bites’, cut each cinnamon roll into 2 or 4 pieces.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and optional ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Heat butter or cooking spray in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated on all sides.
- Place the dipped pieces into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked cinnamon roll French toast bites to a serving plate.
- Warm the reserved icing packet in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (or run under hot water) until it’s a pourable consistency. Drizzle generously over the warm French toast bites. Serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra treat, serve with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
