  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (8-count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Optional: powdered sugar
  • Optional: maple syrup

  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter.
  4. Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, coating lightly.
  5. Place pieces in the skillet in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove and place on a serving plate.
  8. Warm icing slightly and drizzle over the bites.
  9. Serve warm with optional toppings like powdered sugar, syrup, or berries.

Notes

  • Do not oversoak pieces to prevent sogginess.
  • Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Use half-and-half for a richer texture.
  • Add nutmeg or cardamom for extra spice.
  • Best served fresh and warm.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
