Description
These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are everything you love about warm, gooey cinnamon rolls and classic French toast – rolled into bite-sized pieces that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snacking. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and finished with a drizzle of glaze!
Ingredients
For the Bites:
-
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
-
2 large eggs
-
1/4 cup milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
Optional Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
-
Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters (you’ll get about 32 bite-sized pieces).
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
-
Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, coating well but not soaking too long.
-
Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the dipped cinnamon roll pieces and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches.
-
Optional: Toss the warm bites in a mix of cinnamon sugar and melted butter for extra flavor.
-
Warm the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls in the microwave for 10–15 seconds, then drizzle over the bites before serving.
Notes
-
Great with maple syrup or cream cheese icing for dipping.
-
Make it extra indulgent by adding a powdered sugar dusting or caramel drizzle.
-
Best served warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or air fryer.
