Delicious Cinnamon Roll Casserole Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar (can substitute with brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting (from cinnamon roll cans)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for topping)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls

    Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters.

    This helps the rolls to mix well with the egg mixture.
  3. Mix the Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

    Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Fold the quartered cinnamon rolls into the egg mixture and gently combine.

    Do not overmix; some pieces should remain intact.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.

    Use a spatula to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
  6. Bake the Casserole

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

    Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Add Frosting

    Remove from the oven and drizzle cream cheese frosting over the top while still warm.

    Let it sit for a few minutes for the frosting to melt slightly.
  8. Serve and Enjoy

    Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with nuts if desired.

    Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
