Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are a fun, bite-sized breakfast treat that’s soft, sweet, and perfect for dipping in syrup. Here’s a simple way to make them:
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 1 tube (8–10 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for extra spice)
- Butter or nonstick spray for cooking
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare cinnamon rolls
- Unroll or cut cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces (about 1–2 inches).
- Reserve icing for drizzling later.
- Make egg mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Dip the bites
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray.
- Dip cinnamon roll pieces into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
- Cook
- Place bites on the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Serve
- Drizzle with reserved icing and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
💡 Tips for perfect bites
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle powdered sugar or a dash of cinnamon on top.
- You can also bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes if you prefer less stovetop work.
I can also give a “oven-baked casserole version” where all the cinnamon roll bites are baked together like a pull-apart French toast—super easy for feeding a crowd. Do you want that version?
