Description

This sweet, gooey, and buttery cinnamon roll casserole is the perfect make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish! Made with store-bought cinnamon rolls and a simple egg custard, it bakes into a warm, soft, and cinnamon-spiced treat—perfect for holidays or weekend mornings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury, about 1216 rolls)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Icing from cinnamon roll package (or homemade glaze)

Optional Toppings:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Extra maple syrup
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread them evenly in the dish.

2. Make the Custard Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth.

3. Assemble the Casserole

  1. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure they are well coated.
  2. Drizzle with melted butter.

4. Bake

  1. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and set in the middle. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.

5. Add Icing & Serve

  1. Let cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the icing over the warm casserole.
  2. Serve with powdered sugar, extra maple syrup, or chopped nuts!

Notes

  • Make it Overnight: Assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning!
  • Extra Gooey? Pour ½ cup heavy cream over the rolls before baking.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days; reheat in the oven or microwave.
