🛒 Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- Maple syrup or reserved icing (optional, for serving)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the can and set the icing aside for later. Separate the cinnamon rolls and cut each one into 4 or more bite-sized pieces.
2. Make the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
3. Dip and Coat
Dip the cinnamon roll pieces into the egg mixture, turning them gently to coat all sides. Let any excess drip off.
4. Cook to Perfection
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the coated bites in the pan in a single layer, spacing them out. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp on all edges.
5. Finish and Serve
Transfer the bites to a plate. Warm the reserved icing slightly for easier drizzling, or use maple syrup. Drizzle over the top, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
