How to make Cinnamon Roll Casserole

- STEP ONE: CUT the cinnamon rolls each into 4 pieces (quarter it).
- STEP TWO: MIX eggs, coffee creamer, vanilla extract, and allspice. Whisk together until well combined and the eggs are light and frothy.
- STEP THREE: POUR the egg mixture over the top of the cinnamon rolls. Gently mix around to make sure the rolls are coated with the egg mixture.
- STEP FOUR: BAKE at 375 for 35-40 minutes and coat with icing (see icing instructions in recipe card).
(For the detailed Cinnamon Roll Casserole recipe and step-by-step details, see the printable recipe card below)
TIP:
- 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!

Hi! I was wondering why the video showing what is used is different than what is listed. I would like to know how much of what was used in the video and not in the ingredients. Please let me know. Thank you!
Hi I have question been saving this recipe to make Father’s Day morning. Your video and recipe are confusing me. So you pour melted butter first?? You have coffee creamer listed but not in video. In video you have maple syrup. Could you explain/helps me so I don’t mess this up. Haha.
The recipe and video confuse me also. Did you ever get an answer?
I am so sorry – first for missing these comments and second because we updated the recipe and forgot to remove the video. please follow the instructions in the recipe card!
Can you prep it the day before you bake?
Did you try making it the day before?
I made this, this morning, then left the house for the day! When I got home, this afternoon, 2/3 of it had been eaten. The only person home was my SO. Next time, I would double the custard, but obviously, it was delicious!
Your recipe says cut into quarters but your photos show them cut into 6ths. Which is correct and which is better?
In full transparency – when I make this I cut it in quarters – my photographer, unfortunately, did not follow the instructions to the letter and cut it in 6ths – either way will work just fine and be delicious!
What does the vanilla coffee creamer do ?
