Ingredients
-
1 can (8-count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup milk
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons butter, for frying
-
Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
-
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate the rolls. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 bite-sized pieces.
-
Make Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
-
Coat Cinnamon Roll Bites: Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
-
Fry: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the coated cinnamon roll bites and cook, turning occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
-
Serve: Remove from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter. Repeat with the remaining cinnamon roll pieces, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
-
Optional Toppings: Serve the cinnamon roll French toast bites with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
-
Make It Extra Sweet: For an added touch, drizzle the icing from the cinnamon rolls on top of the bites once they’re done cooking.
-
Make It Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free milk alternative and a dairy-free butter for a dairy-free version of this recipe.
-
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for the best texture.
