Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
- 6 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or additional syrup)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Open the cans of cinnamon roll dough. Separate each roll and cut them into quarters, then spread the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, making sure each piece is coated.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the entire dish for added sweetness and flavor.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the bake is golden brown and set in the center.
While the bake is cooking, heat the icing packets from the cinnamon roll dough in the microwave for a few seconds to make the icing easier to drizzle.
Once out of the oven, drizzle the warm icing over the bake for a classic cinnamon roll finish.
Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar, and add optional toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, whipped cream, or extra maple syrup if desired.
