Cinnamon Roll Casserole

Imagine being woke up to the delicious smells of cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. Then, imagine your delight when you get to the table to see that those cinnamon rolls were taken to the next level and made into a decadent Cinnamon Roll Casserole covered in icing with a side of syrup.

What if I told you that this crowd-pleasing dish can be made in three easy steps! True story!

Ingredients

You don’t need much to make this baked casserole!

• 2 cans of cinnamon rolls with icing included
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 4 eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
• ¾ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk

How to make Cinnamon Roll Casserole

This recipe will take about 45 minutes total to make and will serve 8-10 people (depending on if you have other dishes along with it).

STEP ONE: CUT the cinnamon rolls each into 4 pieces (quarter it), coat them with the melted butter and spread them evenly in baking dish.
STEP TWO: MIX together the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla and pour over the cinnamon rolls. Drizzle with maple syrup.
STEP THREE: BAKE at 375 for 30 minutes and coat with icing.

TIPS:

• If you don’t like a lot of icing you can totally omit the extra powdered sugar and milk icing
• When the casserole comes out of the oven put a light coat of icing on the rolls. Let the casserole sit 5-10 minutes. Then use the rest of the icing. Putting a light coat of icing on first and letting it harden a little helps the rest of the icing stay thick!
