  • Can be made with store-bought cinnamon rolls for convenience
  • Cons:

  • May not be suitable for those on a low-sugar or low-carb diet

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the cinnamon rolls: Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite-sized pieces.
  • Make the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • Dip the cinnamon roll pieces: Dip each cinnamon roll bite into the egg mixture, ensuring they’re fully coated.
  • Cook: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the cinnamon roll bites and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve: Remove from the skillet and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping if desired.

Notes

 

  • Storage: These cinnamon roll bites are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best results.
  • Make it healthier: For a lighter version, you can use a sugar-free cinnamon roll or whole wheat bread, and swap the butter for a cooking spray or coconut oil.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add a handful of berries or a drizzle of cream cheese icing on top for extra flavor.
  • Variations: You can also make these bites using different types of rolls, such as sticky buns or sweet rolls, to change up the flavor profile.
