The Best Recipe for Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into 4–6 bite-sized pieces.
Using homemade dough? Roll it out, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, roll tightly, slice into rounds, then cut into chunks.
2. Make the Custard
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
3. Coat the Bites
Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the custard mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not soaked.
4. Cook to Perfection
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add the coated bites in batches. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add the Finishing Touch
Drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll can, dust with powdered sugar, or serve with warm maple syrup.
Extra indulgence? Make a quick cream cheese glaze by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until smooth.
