Instructions
-
Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and separate each roll into individual pieces.
- Gently flatten each cinnamon roll with your hands to form a rectangular shape.
- Spread butter evenly on each flattened roll, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough back up tightly and cut into smaller pieces (about 4-5 per roll).
-
Make the French Toast Batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
-
Fry the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls:
- Heat butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the French toast batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Place the dipped rolls on the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Make the Glaze:
- While the rolls are cooking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and combined.
-
Serve & Enjoy:
- Once the rolls are cooked, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Serve warm, and enjoy these sweet, gooey bites of heaven!
Notes
- You can also serve these with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for extra flavor and freshness.
- For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add more milk.
