Ingredients

• 2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
• 6 large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0 optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or additional syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Open the cans of cinnamon roll dough. Separate each roll and cut them into quarters, then spread the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, making sure each piece is coated.

Step 5

Drizzle the maple syrup over the entire dish for added sweetness and flavor.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the bake is golden brown and set in the center.

Step 8

While the bake is cooking, heat the icing packets from the cinnamon roll dough in the microwave for a few seconds to make the icing easier to drizzle.

Step 9

Once out of the oven, drizzle the warm icing over the bake for a classic cinnamon roll finish.

Step 10

Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar, and add optional toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, whipped cream, or extra maple syrup if desired.
