Here’s a delicious Cinnamon Roll French Toast recipe that combines the fluffiness of French toast with the sweetness and spice of cinnamon rolls!
Cinnamon Roll French Toast
Ingredients:
-
2 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)
-
3 large eggs
-
1/2 cup whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
Pinch of salt
-
Butter (for cooking)
-
Maple syrup (for serving)
-
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:
-
If you’re using store-bought cinnamon rolls, bake them according to the package instructions. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
-
If you’re using homemade cinnamon rolls, ensure they’re cooled slightly so they hold together when cut.
-
-
Make the French Toast Batter:
-
In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the batter is fully mixed and smooth.
-
-
Slice the Cinnamon Rolls:
-
Slice the cinnamon rolls into 1-inch thick pieces (like you would slice bread for French toast). You should be able to get about 4-6 slices, depending on the size of your rolls.
-
-
Cook the French Toast:
-
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
-
Dip each slice of cinnamon roll into the batter, making sure both sides are well-coated. Place the dipped cinnamon roll slices onto the skillet.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, but soft inside.
-
-
Serve:
-
Once all slices are cooked, plate them up, drizzle with warm maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. You could even top with whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra treat.

Enjoy your Cinnamon Roll French Toast—it’s a perfect breakfast or brunch dish that’s as indulgent as it sounds!
