This cinnamon roll breakfast casserole is a simple, crowd-pleasing morning dish made with refrigerated cinnamon rolls, eggs, maple syrup, and warm spices. It comes together fast and bakes into a soft, golden, pull-apart casserole perfect for weekend breakfasts or holiday mornings.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 cinnamon rolls each, 351 grams or 12 oz)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray and pour in the melted butter.
  2. Open both tubes of cinnamon rolls and set the frosting packets aside for later.
  3. Cut each cinnamon roll into 3/4 inch pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and the eggs are completely mixed in.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the casserole is light golden brown and puffed up in the center.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then drizzle the reserved frosting over the top and serve warm.

Notes

  • Do not skip resting the casserole after baking. The 10 to 15 minute cool-down helps it set before you slice and serve.
  • Make sure you whisk the eggs fully into the milk mixture so there are no streaks of egg in your casserole.
  • You can cut the cinnamon rolls the night before and store them covered in the fridge to save time in the morning.
  • If your casserole looks golden on top but still jiggles slightly in the center, it will firm up as it cools.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Pancake syrup works but will taste sweeter and less rich.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
