Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 4 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1 to taste powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut them into quarters and place them in the prepared baking dish, evenly distributing them.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cut cinnamon rolls, ensuring all pieces are well soaked.
  5. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts and raisins over the top for added texture and flavor.
  6. Carefully shake the baking dish to let the liquid settle into the cinnamon rolls.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Meanwhile, warm the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls for easier drizzling.
  9. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the warmed icing over the top.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra sweet touch. Cut into squares and serve warm.
