Description

Delight in these Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites, a perfect blend of soft cinnamon rolls fried to a golden brown with a rich egg mixture, topped with sweet icing and optional maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can (12 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, cut into bite-sized pieces

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For Serving

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
  • Icing from cinnamon roll package

Instructions

  1. Prepare dough: Cut the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough into bite-sized pieces and set aside the icing from the package for later use.
  2. Mix egg batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Coat dough: Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated on all sides to absorb the flavors.
  4. Heat skillet: Melt the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the bites without sticking.
  5. Cook bites: Place the coated cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer in the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully until all sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the reserved icing over the warm French toast bites and serve immediately with maple syrup on the side for extra sweetness if desired.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated cinnamon roll dough for convenience and guaranteed flavor.
  • Whole milk can be substituted with any milk of choice for a lighter option.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the inside is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Maple syrup is optional but adds a nice complementary sweetness.
