Variation Ideas
- Milk – We usually make this recipe with whole milk, but you can substitute with almond milk.
- Chopped Nuts – For more added flavor and texture add in chopped pecans or slice almonds.
- Cream Cheese Icing – We usually use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls, but feel free to make your own.
Step by Step Instructions
- Step First, go ahead and preheat oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is preheating, spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2 – Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut cinnamon roll pieces into fourths. Set the icing packets aside.
Step 3 – Next, unravel the refrigerated cinnamon rolls and loosely put them in your baking pan.
Step 4 – Get a small mixing bowl and mix the eggs, milk, syrup, cinnamon and vanilla until well combined.
Step 5 – Finally, pour all of this egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the pan.
- Step 6 – Put the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered until it is golden brown. This normally takes about 30 minutes. Just make sure it is cooked through the middle.
- Step 7 – While it is baking, heat the icing packets in the microwave for a few seconds. Drizzle on top once the casserole has finished baking.
Recipe Tips
- Cinnamon Rolls – You can use any type of cinnamon rolls or brands.
- Serving – Serve this easy cinnamon rolls casserole warm with your favorite toppings.
Topping Ideas
- If you prefer more icing, try making this easy cream cheese frosting to drizzle over the top.

Syrup. Maple syrup? Simple syrup? Golden syrup? Corn syrup?
Maple Syrup
My family absolutely loves this! They ask for it all the time!
I’m so glad! Thank you for sharing!
It was delicious.. it did reheat well. Since we are only 3 i was going to try halfing the recipe and adding apples
Adding apples sounds delicious – I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Can I cut the recipe in half in a 8×8 pan?
Yes, that would work great with this recipe.
Super simple and so yummy!!! Made this Christmas morning
If you like cinnamon rolls and french toast, then you’ll love this recipe! Super sweet treat!
This is my go to breakfast recipe if the kids have sleepovers and for every Christmas morning! So easy to throw together and it is absolutely delicious!
Thank you! I’m glad your family and you enjoy it.
I make this at Christmas. While my other 2 casseroles are baking, hash brown & breakfast casserole, I put this together & pop it in the oven when they come out. I also add the biscuits to the oven at the same time! Organize!
Love it!
Can you make it and reheat it or is it only good served immediately?
Can I put this together the night before and just put into the oven in the morning? Trying to save some time.
Lisa – I have not done that before with this recipe but I think that it would work as long as you cover it in the refrigerator over night. Let me know how it turns out. Thank you!
Super fast and easy. I added raisins, apples would be good too. Thanks!
