Ingredients

Scale
  • Cinnamon Rolls (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk (whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Bake store-bought cinnamon rolls according to package directions or use homemade rolls. Allow them to cool completely.
  2. Cut the Rolls: Slice the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  3. Make the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
  4. Dip the Bites: Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the custard mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not overly soggy.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Allow it to melt and bubble slightly.
  6. Cook the Bites: Place the dipped cinnamon roll pieces into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Work in batches, adding more butter as needed.
  7. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together powdered sugar and milk or cream. Heat gently until smooth and slightly warm.
  8. Drizzle and Serve: Arrange the French toast bites on a platter and drizzle the warm glaze over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Let cinnamon rolls cool completely before slicing and dipping to prevent them from falling apart.’, ‘Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while undercooking the inside.’, ‘Dip bites quickly into the custard to avoid sogginess.’, ‘Customize the glaze thickness by adjusting the amount of milk or powdered sugar.’, ‘Preheat the skillet before adding butter to prevent sticking.’]
