Cinnamon bun casserole:
Ingredients:
- 2 – 12.4oz containers of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp chopped pecans, optional
Tip: homemade cream cheese icing can also be added to the top of the casserole but using the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls is just as good in our opinion!
Directions:
1. Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium bowl.
2. Open the two cans of dough, set aside the icing and cut each of the rolls into quarters.
3. Place the quartered cinnamon roll pieces into a large, greased casserole dish that has been coated in nonstick spray.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the cut up rolls and sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Add pecans if desired.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
5. Pipe the reserved icing over the warm casserole and serve warm.
This is the perfect dish for lazy Sunday mornings or during the holidays. Anything that I can prepare in advance or just throw in the oven is a win in my books!
In fact, I even created this Keto Overnight French Toast Casserole for my keto loving self! Trust me when I say that it is just as delicious as the original french toast casserole!
This round dish is good for a smaller gathering but if you have a larger crowd, be sure to use a 9×13 sized baking dish at least.
