Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package package of cinnamon rolls (standard size) Remove icing if pre-iced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) Plant milks like oat or almond work well
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter for cooking Or a neutral oil with a bit of butter for flavor
  • Maple syrup and toppings of your choice (berries, whipped cream, chopped nuts)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and ground cinnamon until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Remove icing first if the rolls are pre-iced.
  4. Dip each quarter into the egg mixture, turning so all sides are coated but not overly saturated.
Cooking
  1. Add butter to the hot skillet and spread it into a thin layer.
  2. Arrange the coated pieces in a single layer with space between them.
  3. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping when the bottoms are golden and caramelized.
  4. Serve immediately. Drizzle with maple syrup and add berries, whipped cream, or chopped nuts as desired.
