Ingredients

2 cans refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (10-12 rolls)
4 eggs
1 cups milk (heavy cream or ½ & ½ work too)
½ cup brown sugar
1 TB cinnamon
1 TB vanilla

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉ degrees. Spray a 8x11 glass dish with cooking spray. Cut the cinnamon rolls into 4-6 pieces each and place in the prepared pan.
Whisk remaining ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined. Pour over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, being sure to cover all the pieces. Then, press down a bit to ensure every little bit is covered in the custard mix.
Bake at 375℉ for 40-50 minutes.
While the casserole bakes, make the optional icing (if your cinnamon rolls don’t already come with it in the can). Once the you take the casserole out of the oven, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before drizzling with icing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

How to know it's baked: You'll know that the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake is done, when it's browning on top and the center is set. There will still be a little “jiggle” when it’s done, but the center should not be liquid-y.

Serve it as dessert: Call it cinnamon roll bread pudding and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle of caramel sauce.

Make it dairy free: Swap the milk and yogurt for their dairy free equivalent.

Optional Icing: Mix together 2 cups powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons heavy cream, 2 teaspoons melted butter, a glug of vanilla. Stir until smooth and pour over the breakfast casserole.
