Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (12.4 ounces) refrigerated jumbo cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any kind works)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in a single layer in the prepared dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This is your custard base.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the rolls.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Remove the plastic wrap.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  12. Warm the icing packets that came with the rolls. Drizzle the icing over the warm casserole before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the refrigerated cinnamon rolls with your favorite brand.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet topping, use only half of the provided icing.
