Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12.4 ounce) package refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls in a single layer in the prepared dish. Cut any rolls that do not fit evenly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Remove the plastic wrap. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the icing packets over the warm casserole before serving.
Notes
- For a crockpot version, place the soaked rolls in a lightly greased slow cooker. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- You can use a 9×13 inch dish for a thinner, faster-baking casserole, reducing the bake time slightly.
