2. Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites

• 1 package (16 oz) of cinnamon rolls with icing
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making French Toast Bites

Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Base

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. Open the package of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Arrange the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Make the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This mixture will give the cinnamon roll pieces a rich and flavorful coating.

Assemble the French Toast Bites

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure all pieces are coated. Allow the mixture to soak in for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld and the bread absorbs the custard.

Bake to Perfection

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the casserole is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before drizzling with icing or adding optional toppings.
