What This Recipe Needs
Canned Cinnamon Rolls: I prefer using two of the original 12.4 oz cans with eight rolls per can, but you can also use the Grand Rolls. Some cans are only 7.3 oz with five rolls- you will need 3 of these cans if you use them.
Milk: I tend to use 2% but whole or skim milk will work too.
Maple Syrup: I tend to use real maple syrup for most recipes, but artificial maple syrup will work too!
Brown Sugar: Light or Dark, either works and adds such a depth of delicious flavor!
How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake:
- Step 1: Cut up the cinnamon rolls and place in a buttered baking dish.
- Step 2: Whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, and pour over the cinnamon roll cubes. Pour the maple syrup over everything, and sprinkle with some brown sugar!
- Step 3: Bake 40-50 minutes or until cooked through. Halfway through baking, cover with foil to prevent overcooking the top.
- Step 4: Drizzle with cinnamon roll frosting and enjoy!
This is delicious served up with some brown sugar bacon, a chocolate banana smoothie, or breakfast tacos!
Expert Tip
Avoid Soggy French Toast Bottom- You want to make sure you bake this dish until it is cooked all the way through. I recommend baking for 45-50 minutes. Be sure to place foil over the dish about halfway through to prevent burning the top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Microwave for 20-30 seconds, check, then repeat until warmed through. Alternatively, if you are reheating a large portion, you can heat it in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, but the frosting might melt and disappear into the cinnamon rolls.
This dish pairs perfectly with oven-baked bacon, a fresh glass of orange juice (or an orange smoothie), and a tasty bacon breakfast burrito.
