Ingredients
  

1 can (12 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8-count)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking dish by either greasing it with cooking spray or buttering it generously. Alternatively, you can line the dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

    Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and carefully separate them. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into quarters, resulting in bite-sized pieces perfect for easy eating.

      Make the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add in the whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and maple syrup. Continue whisking until all ingredients are well blended and smooth.

        Combine: Gently fold the chopped cinnamon roll pieces into the egg mixture using a spatula, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated without breaking them apart.

          Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading the pieces out evenly to allow for uniform cooking. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The finished product should have a golden-brown top with a firm center.

            Cool and Dust: Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes to firm up slightly. Dust the warm top with powdered sugar to add a sweet finishing touch.

              Serve: Cut the baked cinnamon roll bites into small squares and serve them warm on a plate. Drizzle extra maple syrup on top and consider adding fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
