Variation Ideas
- Milk – We usually make this recipe with whole milk, but you can substitute with almond milk.
- Chopped Nuts – For more added flavor and texture add in chopped pecans or slice almonds.
- Cream Cheese Icing – We usually use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls, but feel free to make your own.
Step by Step Instructions
- Step First, go ahead and preheat oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is preheating, spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2 – Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut cinnamon roll pieces into fourths. Set the icing packets aside.
Step 3 – Next, unravel the refrigerated cinnamon rolls and loosely put them in your baking pan.
Step 4 – Get a small mixing bowl and mix the eggs, milk, syrup, cinnamon and vanilla until well combined.
Step 5 – Finally, pour all of this egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the pan.
- Step 6 – Put the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered until it is golden brown. This normally takes about 30 minutes. Just make sure it is cooked through the middle.
- Step 7 – While it is baking, heat the icing packets in the microwave for a few seconds. Drizzle on top once the casserole has finished baking.

- Serving – Serve this easy cinnamon rolls casserole warm with your favorite toppings.

So easy to make and super yummy! I drizzled syrup and sprinkled powdered sugar on it and my family ate it up!

Maple Syrup
Syrup. Maple syrup? Simple syrup? Golden syrup? Corn syrup?
I’m so glad! Thank you for sharing!
My family absolutely loves this! They ask for it all the time!
Adding apples sounds delicious – I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
It was delicious.. it did reheat well. Since we are only 3 i was going to try halfing the recipe and adding apples
Yes, that would work great with this recipe.
Can I cut the recipe in half in a 8×8 pan?
Super simple and so yummy!!! Made this Christmas morning
If you like cinnamon rolls and french toast, then you’ll love this recipe! Super sweet treat!
Thank you! I’m glad your family and you enjoy it.
This is my go to breakfast recipe if the kids have sleepovers and for every Christmas morning! So easy to throw together and it is absolutely delicious!
Love it!
I make this at Christmas. While my other 2 casseroles are baking, hash brown & breakfast casserole, I put this together & pop it in the oven when they come out. I also add the biscuits to the oven at the same time! Organize!
Can you make it and reheat it or is it only good served immediately?
Lisa – I have not done that before with this recipe but I think that it would work as long as you cover it in the refrigerator over night. Let me know how it turns out. Thank you!
Can I put this together the night before and just put into the oven in the morning? Trying to save some time.
Super fast and easy. I added raisins, apples would be good too. Thanks!
