Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
My family has become quite the fan of breakfast foods. They love French Toast so I will quite often make them their favorite French Toast Cups to eat on their way to school. On the weekend, they have come to expect a bigger breakfast. I enjoy making a big breakfast so we all can meet at the table and catch up on what is going on for everyone. Sometimes, my time on the weekend can be quite pressed. This past weekend, we had quite a bit going on. I really did not have time to fix up a big elaborate breakfast for them. So I made them up this yummy Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake. I had the whole dish made and on the table in no time at all.
The kids all love French Toast. They all love Cinnamon Rolls. So heck… it was time to combine the two. This breakfast casserole knocked it out of the park. Each one of the kiddos went back for seconds and was overly pleased that I did not have the time for a big weekend breakfast.

Wondering if this is reaĺly eggy…I don’t like eggs & mushy textures. When I make French toast, I use cinnamon raisin bread and don’t soak it very long.
The bottom was very gooey. I’m not sure if that’s right? Any suggestions on what I did wrong? Flavor was good!
I made this for Easter brunch and it was fabulous! I did double it because I was feeding 6 adults and 1 growing 4 year old. Not one piece left. Food coma for all.
It looks like you used a 9×13 pan. Did you double the ingredients?
What did you do for the icing? Just powdered sugar and water?
just tried this recipe this morning and it was really really good!!
so much so I plan to double and make at our next small group when we have the breakfast for dinner recipe.
thanks so much for sharing.
Is the pan really 8×8? It seems bigger
Can you pre make this and leave it overnight to bake in the morning? Sounds delicious and can’t wait to make it!!
