Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of cinnamon rolls (pre-made for convenience)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, berries
Instructions
- Start by unwrapping the cinnamon rolls and cutting them into smaller bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and makes serving easier, perfect for easy weekend breakfast.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This flavorful French toast batter infuses the cinnamon rolls with a rich custard-like flavor.
- Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them sit for about 30 seconds to soak up the flavors. Prepare a skillet or griddle for cooking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Place the soaked cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. For crispier bites, consider using an air fryer.
- Transfer the cooked French toast bites to a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, or top with fresh berries and whipped cream. Serve warm for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use fresh cinnamon rolls for the best flavor and texture.
- To add extra flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or drizzle caramel sauce over the bites.
- Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or microwave for quick enjoying later.
