- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Casserole
- 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls (16 rolls total)
- 2 cinnamon roll icing packets
- ¼ cup maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half (or heavy cream), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
- Cut Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the cinnamon roll dough into 1-inch pieces using scissors and place them evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly crunchy.
- Remove from Oven: Take the casserole out of the oven carefully once baking is complete.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle the maple syrup and the included cinnamon roll icing packets generously over the warm casserole.
- Rest: Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes to set and cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon roll casserole warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use half and half or heavy cream for a richer texture; milk can be substituted but the casserole may be less creamy.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce or omit the maple syrup drizzle.
- Ensure the cinnamon rolls are cut into small, even pieces for consistent baking.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly to avoid burning when serving.
