Ingredients
  

1 can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (8 rolls)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (whole or almond)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Butter or cooking spray for frying

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Optional: fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries) for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Cinnamon Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into four pieces to create bite-sized pieces.

    Make the Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and maple syrup until well combined.

      Coat the Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Dip each piece of the cut cinnamon roll into the custard mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated. Let any excess custard drip off before placing them on the baking sheet.

        Cook the French Toast Bites: In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat (or spray with cooking spray). Once hot, add the coated cinnamon roll pieces in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

          Bake for Extra Crispiness: Once all bites are cooked in the skillet, transfer them back to the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes to ensure they're cooked through and crispy.

            Prepare the Icing: While baking, you can prepare the icing using the icing that comes with the cinnamon roll package. Simply place it in a small bowl and microwave for about 10 seconds to soften if needed.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the warm icing over the bites and dust with powdered sugar for that sweet finish. Serve with fresh berries on the side for an added pop of flavor and color.
