Ingredients

  • Cinnamon Rolls – The base of the dish! You’ll need canned cinnamon rolls, which come with their own delicious icing. These rolls will bake into a soft, fluffy, and gooey layer that’s the heart of the casserole.
  • Eggs – Eggs help bind everything together and give the casserole a nice, creamy texture. They provide richness and help hold the cinnamon rolls together as they bake.
  • Milk – Milk adds a smooth creaminess to the mixture. It helps create a custard-like texture, making each bite feel extra indulgent. You can use whole milk for extra richness, but any milk will work!
  • Vanilla Extract – This ingredient brings a delightful sweetness and depth of flavor to the casserole. The vanilla enhances the cinnamon flavor, making it feel even more comforting and warm.
  • Brown Sugar – Brown sugar adds a caramel-like sweetness that complements the cinnamon rolls perfectly. It gives the casserole a golden, slightly crispy top layer that’s hard to resist.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) – This ensures your oven is hot and ready to bake the casserole to perfection.
  • Cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters – Slice the cinnamon rolls into smaller pieces to ensure they bake evenly and soak up all the custard mixture.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and brown sugar together – In a bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. This will be the creamy mixture that brings all the flavors together.
  • Layer the cinnamon rolls in a baking dish – Spread the cut cinnamon rolls in an even layer at the bottom of a greased baking dish. This is the base for your casserole.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls – Pour the creamy egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls. Be sure to coat them evenly so every bite will be rich and flavorful.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes – Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden and the center is set. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are slightly crispy, and the casserole is puffed up.
  • Drizzle with icing – Once the casserole is out of the oven, drizzle the included icing from the cinnamon rolls over the top. This step adds an extra touch of sweetness.
