Ingredient Tips
cinnamon rolls – This recipe calls for canned cinnamon rolls, any brand will work
Milk jelly – Use large eggs with milk, cream, or even flavored coffee creamer like vanilla, cinnamon or pumpkin.
nut – I love pecans, but try walnuts or sliced almonds. For a nut-free version, use dried cranberries, raisins, or currants.
change – Customize your cinnamon roll French toast by mixing in coconut flakes, berries, mini chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or even peanut butter. Try using cream cheese frosting instead of cinnamon roll frosting.
How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast
- Melt the butter and spread it on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Cut cinnamon rolls as directed (recipe below).
- Stir in the custard ingredients and add the cinnamon rolls and pecans.
- Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and bake until the top is golden brown.
- Cool before freezing and serve warm.
French toast ingredients
In addition to frosting on cinnamon rolls, we love warm maple syrup and a dollop of homemade whipped cream, strawberry or blueberry sauce, or this super simple caramel sauce.
Storing Cinnamon Roll French Toast
in advance: Prepare the custard and cookies ahead of time and store in the refrigerator overnight until ready to assemble and bake.
Leftovers: Store leftover Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or under the broiler until the top is golden brown.
