Cinnamon Roll Casserole

There’s nothing like the smell of cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven.

In my home, we are all huge fans of the cinnamon roll.  And I do mean huge!  We like them with pumpkin & pecans, with apples & caramel, in waffle form, as a crust on a pie, & in shortcut form.

They’re full of awesome.

So, why not create something full of cinnamon roll goodness in a breakfast casserole form?  Think cinnamon rolls meet french toast. Yeah, you know that sounds heavenly!

You can’t beat how easy this is either.

You’re gonna want to make this right now.  At this very minute.  Yes, it’s that good.

Here’s what you need:

Pour a little melted butter to cover the bottom of a 3 quart casserole dish. Take your cinnamon rolls (you should have two tubes of 8 each, making 16 in total) – and slice each one into 6 pieces.

Lay the chopped cinnamon rolls on top of the melted butter.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, & 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Pour mixture over the chopped cinnamon rolls.

Sprinkle with 1 cup of chopped pecans & then drizzle with 1/4 cup maple syrup.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

Let cool for 10 minutes.  Heat the reserved cinnamon roll icing in the microwave until melted.  Stir in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Drizzle the icing over the top of the cinnamon roll casserole.
