Instructions
Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4–6 bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
Step 2: Make the French Toast Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 3: Coat the Bites
Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces. Gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes so the rolls absorb the custard.
Step 4: Cook the Bites
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and drizzle with reserved icing (warmed slightly if needed). Serve immediately with maple syrup or powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
-
Do not overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed.
-
Medium heat prevents burning while cooking through.
-
Let the custard soak briefly for best texture.
-
Use nonstick or well-seasoned cookware for easy flipping.
