Ingredients

4 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole milk or your choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

1 tablespoon butter (for the skillet)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish, such as berries or sliced bananas)

Instructions

Prep the Cinnamon Rolls: If using store-bought cinnamon rolls, bring them to room temperature for easier slicing. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters or smaller chunks for a better soak.

Make the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar (if using) until fully combined.

Soak the Cinnamon Rolls: Gently add the chunks of cinnamon rolls to the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow them to soak for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Make sure it coats the bottom evenly to prevent sticking.

Cook the French Toast: Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the soaked cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Ensure they are heated through.

Serve: Transfer the cooked Cinnamon Roll French Toast to a serving plate. Drizzle with warm maple syrup, and add whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired.

Enjoy: Slice into portions and dig in while warm!
