Ingredients

1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls)

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.
