Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 tbsp butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
- Begin by cutting the cinnamon rolls into thick slices. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Add the sliced cinnamon rolls to the mixture and gently combine.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add enough coated cinnamon roll slices to fill the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Turn the cinnamon roll slices carefully to ensure even cooking, aiming for a crispy edge while keeping the center warm and fluffy. Each side should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked Cinnamon Roll French Toast to a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries.
