Ingredients

  • 2 (12.4 ounce) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (set icing aside)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk, any kind (I used 2%)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and place evenly into dish. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until well-combined. Pour evenly over cinnamon rolls and lightly press rolls down so that each one is coated in egg mixture. Drizzle syrup over rolls. (If preparing the night before, cover and refrigerate until ready to bake)
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and center is set. Drizzle w with prepared icing. 

Notes

  • French toast will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • To prepare ahead of time: Make the casserole and pour egg mixture over rolls, but do not add the syrup or bake. Remember to set aside the icing (and refrigerate) for when the casserole is baked. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days. When ready to serve, let casserole sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, drizzle with maple syrup, and then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and center is set.
