Description
Soft, cinnamon-coated bites of French toast, made from cinnamon rolls, fried to golden perfection, and drizzled with a sweet glaze—these Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are an irresistible breakfast treat or dessert.
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter, for frying
1/4 cup maple syrup, for serving
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter to coat the pan.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters, creating small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Dip each cinnamon roll bite into the egg mixture, making sure it’s well-coated on all sides.
- Place the coated cinnamon roll bites in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
For a fruit variation, add fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas.
Instead of powdered sugar, try drizzling a cream cheese glaze or chocolate sauce for a richer taste.
For a savory version, omit the powdered sugar and syrup, and serve with bacon or sausage.
