by

 








Here you go — Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites: the ultimate brunch indulgence!
Soft, fluffy, golden, cinnamon-sugary, and totally addictive. Perfect for gatherings (and yes, easy to make in big batches — 500 if you ever need πŸ‘€).


⭐ Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites

A warm, gooey, cinnamon-swirled treat — crispy outside, soft inside.

🧾 Ingredients

For the bites

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for pan

For topping

  • The cinnamon-roll icing
  • Extra cinnamon sugar (optional)
  • Maple syrup (optional)

πŸ‘©‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the dough

    • Open the cinnamon-roll can.
    • Cut each roll into 4 small pieces.
  2. Make the custard

    • Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Dip the bites

    • Coat each cinnamon-roll piece in the custard mixture (don’t soak too long).
  4. Cook

    • Heat a skillet to medium and add butter.
    • Cook bites on all sides until golden and caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Finish

    • Warm the icing slightly so it drizzles easily.
    • Drizzle over bites.
    • Add extra cinnamon sugar or maple syrup if you want that indulgent finish.

🀀 Tips For Extra Perfection

  • Cook on medium heat so they stay soft inside without burning.
  • Add chopped pecans if you want a sticky-bun vibe.
  • Serve warm — they taste like mini cinnamon-roll churro bites.
