A quick and easy cinnamon roll casserole that delivers a gooey, cinnamon-scented breakfast treat perfect for rushed mornings or special gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (classic or with cream cheese icing)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole or 2% milk (almond milk works too)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) melted butter
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk or cream (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Spread the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. Press down lightly to help the rolls absorb the custard but do not mash.
  5. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to allow the cinnamon rolls to soak up the custard. If prepping ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. The edges should be slightly crisp and the center soft and gooey. Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. While baking, mix powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth and pourable to make the glaze.
  8. After baking, let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Serve warm.

Notes

Letting the casserole rest for 10 minutes before baking helps the cinnamon rolls soak up the custard for a gooey texture. Watch closely during the last 5 minutes of baking to avoid overbaking. For dairy-free versions, use coconut milk and dairy-free butter substitutes. You can prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it for baking fresh in the morning.
