Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites combine the sweet, gooey goodness of cinnamon rolls with the classic flavors of French toast. These bite-sized treats are coated in a vanilla-cinnamon egg custard, pan-fried to a golden perfection, and served with delicious toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or the included icing. Perfect for a fun breakfast or brunch snack that’s easy to make and delightfully indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (about 12–16 oz)

Custard Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Optional Toppings

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Included icing packet from cinnamon rolls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cinnamon rolls: Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Set the bite-sized pieces aside for coating.
  2. Make the custard mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Coat the bites: Add the cinnamon roll pieces to the custard mixture. Gently stir to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in the egg and milk mixture without breaking them apart.
  4. Cook: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the coated cinnamon roll pieces onto the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove the cooked bites from the skillet and drizzle with the icing packet that came with the rolls, or sprinkle with powdered sugar and/or maple syrup. Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cooking in batches prevents the bites from steaming and ensures a crisp, golden exterior.
  • Use whole milk for a richer custard, but 2% milk works well for a lighter bite.
  • Be gentle while coating the cinnamon roll pieces to keep them intact.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your stovetop and skillet—aim for a golden-brown crust.
  • These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or toaster oven for a quick snack.
