Ingredients

• 2 cans (8-count each) cinnamon rolls (with icing)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0 fresh berries or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Open both cans of cinnamon rolls and set the icing packets aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 6

While the casserole bakes, mix the reserved icing with powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of melted butter to create a glaze. Thin it with a bit of milk if needed, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the casserole. For an extra festive touch, garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of Christmas morning!
