Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites

How to make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites

Step 1: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3: Dip the cinnamon roll pieces into the egg mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated but not soaked.

Step 4: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 5: Place the coated cinnamon roll bites onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Drizzle with the reserved icing from the cinnamon roll can or maple syrup.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

• Dairy-Free Version: Use a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, and dairy-free butter for frying.
• Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of maple extract to the egg mixture.
• Icing Swap: Replace the icing with a homemade cream cheese glaze or dust with powdered sugar.
• Add-ins: Mix in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat to keep them crispy, or microwave for 20-30 seconds for convenience.
• Freezing: Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Reheat from frozen in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
