Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites

A delicious twist on French toast, these cinnamon roll bites are coated in a rich custard, pan-fried until golden, and topped with sweet icing or syrup for a delightful breakfast treat.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (12–16 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, or included icing packet

Instructions

  1. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Gently dip each cinnamon roll piece into the custard mixture, coating all sides but not soaking too long to avoid sogginess.
  4. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
  5. Place the coated cinnamon roll pieces on the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm, drizzled with the included icing packet, or topped with syrup and powdered sugar.

Notes

Use store-bought or homemade cinnamon rolls. Cut rolls into quarters for even cooking. Do not soak the bites too long to prevent sogginess.
