Description

Cinnamon Roll Casserole: Easy and comforting breakfast bake with gooey cinnamon rolls, perfect for pleasing a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (17.5 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Reserved icing from cinnamon roll packages
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. The proper pan size ensures your cinnamon roll casserole will cook evenly without overflowing during baking.
  2. Step 2: Prepare The Cinnamon Rolls Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing packages for later use. Cut each roll into 6-8 pieces (quarters and then halves or thirds works well). This creates the perfect bite-sized pieces that will absorb the egg mixture while still maintaining their identity in the finished dish.
  3. Step 3: Create The Custard Mixture In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy. This mixture forms the rich custard base that transforms simple cinnamon rolls into a decadent breakfast cinnamon roll casserole.
  4. Step 4: Prepare The Cinnamon Sugar Mixture In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. This will be sprinkled between layers and on top for extra cinnamon flavor throughout the casserole.
  5. Step 5: Assemble The Casserole Place half of the cinnamon roll pieces in an even layer in your prepared baking dish. Pour half of the egg mixture over them, ensuring all pieces get some coverage. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture and drizzle with half the melted butter. Repeat with remaining ingredients, creating a second delicious layer.
  6. Step 6: Bake To Perfection Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
  7. Step 7: Prepare And Apply The Glaze While the casserole is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the reserved icing packets with softened cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth and pourable. When the cinnamon roll casserole comes out of the oven, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before drizzling with the prepared glaze.
