Cinnamon Roll Casserole combines the classic flavors of cinnamon rolls into a baked, hearty dish. With gooey cinnamon filling, soft bread, and a sweet glaze, this casserole is perfect for breakfast or brunch with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: chopped nuts or raisins for added texture

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Arrange the pieces in the greased dish, spreading them out evenly.

  2. Make the Egg Mixture:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup (or brown sugar), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

  3. Pour Over the Rolls:
    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure all the rolls are soaked. If you’re adding nuts or raisins, sprinkle them over the top for extra flavor and texture.

  4. Bake the Casserole:
    Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set. You can check if it’s done by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.

  5. Drizzle with Icing:
    While the casserole is baking, open the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls. Once the casserole is out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the hot casserole.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, either on its own or paired with a side of fresh fruit.

This Cinnamon Roll Casserole is the perfect easy-to-make dish for a sweet breakfast or brunch. The soft, gooey cinnamon rolls are transformed into a warm, comforting casserole that's full of flavor and will be a hit with everyone at the table!
