Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Cinnamon Roll French Toast is truly the breakfast of champions, especially for busy women juggling work, family, and everything in between. Imagine combining the fluffy, buttery goodness of cinnamon rolls with the classic, comforting elements of French toast. Not to mention, it’s a quick solution for a busy day or a delightful centerpiece for a special brunch! Plus, who doesn’t want to soak their breakfast in a delicious custard mix and cover it in sticky glaze? Trust me, your brunch game is about to elevate to a whole new level!

Ingredients

• 4 cinnamon rolls (store-bought works perfectly!)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk (whole or almond, your choice!)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Butter (for the pan)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Steps to Create Your Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Ready to get cooking? Let’s dive into the steps for this mouthwatering creation:

1. Prep the Cinnamon Rolls: Start by cutting your cinnamon rolls into thick slices. Aim for about 1-2 inches thick so they soak up the custard without completely falling apart.
2. Whisk the Custard: In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix it all up until well combined. The more you whisk, the more air bubbles you’ll create, and that means fluffier French toast!
3. Soak the Rolls: Dip each cinnamon roll slice into the custard mixture, ensuring every bit of it gets lovingly soaked. Don’t rush—let them sit for a minute to absorb all that deliciousness.
4. Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. You want it hot but not too hot—think of it as getting ready for a slow dance with your breakfast!
5. Cook to Perfection: Place the soaked cinnamon rolls in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Enjoy the sizzle and delightful aroma filling your kitchen.
6. Serve and Drizzle: Remove from the skillet and place on a warm plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and, if you’re feeling fancy, add cream cheese frosting or whipped cream on top!

Cooking Tips for a Flawless Breakfast

• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: It’s tempting to fit all your cinnamon rolls in at once, but giving each piece some space ensures even cooking.
• Customize It: Feel free to add in extras like pecans or a splash of orange zest to give your French toast a fun twist!
• Save Time: You can prep the egg mixture the night before and refrigerate it. Just don’t cut the rolls until you’re ready to cook!
• Flipping Fun: If your cinnamon rolls start to get too hard to flip, just give them a little coaxing with a spatula. We’re all about gentle encouragement!
