Ingredients:

1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (8 rolls)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Maple syrup, for serving

Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Prep the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 bite-sized pieces.

Mix the Egg Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Dip the Bites: Gently dip the cinnamon roll pieces into the egg mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated. Let any excess drip off.

Cook the Bites: Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the coated cinnamon roll pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Golden Perfection: Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more butter as needed.

Warm the Icing: While the bites are cooking, warm the reserved icing in the microwave for about 10 seconds or until pourable.

Serve: Transfer the cooked French toast bites to a plate. Drizzle with the warmed icing, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
