Description

Luxurious cinnamon roll casserole brings sweet morning comfort straight from grandma’s kitchen. Rich layers of buttery pastry and warm spices promise a delightful breakfast experience you cannot resist.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 12 tablespoons (180 milliliters) cinnamon
  • 2 ounces (60 milliliters) milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vanilla

Baking Accessories:

  • Icing (as needed)

Additional Items:

  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Whisk milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a spacious mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
  2. Cut cinnamon rolls into quarter-sized segments and immerse them completely in the liquid mixture.
  3. Allow roll pieces to absorb the liquid thoroughly, letting them marinate for 12-15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F while the rolls are soaking.
  5. Transfer the saturated roll pieces into a prepared baking dish, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Gently warm the icing in the microwave for 10-12 seconds until slightly melted and pourable.
  7. Drizzle the warmed icing evenly across the top of the roll mixture.
  8. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and set.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to stabilize.

Notes

  • Reduce cinnamon amount to 2-3 tablespoons for balanced flavor, as 12 tablespoons would be overwhelming and bitter.
  • Whole milk creates richer texture, but low-fat or dairy alternatives work for lighter version.
  • Let bread pieces soak completely in liquid mixture to ensure soft, custardy consistency throughout casserole.
  • Drizzle warm icing just before serving to maintain creamy, glossy appearance and prevent hardening.
