I love this recipe because it combines so many of my favorite breakfast flavors and tastes SOOO good.

Casserole with cinnamon rolls is warm and comforting on cold winter mornings, and for when you have guests and family over for the holidays.

It even works well to assemble the night before and cook the next day!

Ingredients

All the ingredients needed to make Cinnamon Roll Casserole.
  • Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls or Pillsbury refrigerated Grands cinnamon rolls
  • Eggs
  • Heavy Cream: You can substitute whipping cream
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Spices:  cinnamon, nutmeg, kosher salt 
  • Icing: Included in the cinnamon roll can
  • Pure maple syrup: Use real maple syrup. It is not the same as maple pancake syrup.

How to make Cinnamon Roll Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Using your kitchen shears or a paring knife, cut each cinnamon roll into 4 bite-size pieces, evenly spreading them across the bottom of the greased baking dish. If you are using Grands Cinnamon Rolls, cut each cinnamon roll into 8 bite-size pieces.

Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls cut up into 6-8 pieces.

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Pour the prepared mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.

Bake the cinnamon roll casserole, uncovered, on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, puffy, and set at the center.

A knife inserted into the center of the casserole should come out clean when testing for doneness.

Meanwhile, combine the containers of icing with the maple syrup in a small bowl.

When the cinnamon roll casserole is fully baked, remove from the oven and pour the prepared icing over the top. Serve at once.

What should I serve along side this French toast bake?

We really enjoy Maple Glazed Breakfast Meatballs and Make-Ahead Sausage and Egg Wake-Up Casserole .

Also good as a side dish is a Ham and Cheddar Quiche. Sometimes I add other breakfast fast-favorites: Instant Pot Cheesy-Bacon Egg Bites  or Pop-and-Go Instant Pot Egg Bites.

    Donโ€™t think you meant โ€œlowโ€ on the slow cooker setting, nothing was cooked and I had to rush the entire thing into the oven at the last minute. Thanks for the recipe but please correct the cooking instructions.

    1. Hi Court –
      Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I checked the recipe and that is correct as stated. I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I’ve made this recipe several times in my slow cooker and have good success, but I know that slow cookers can vary greatly in how hot they cook and also depending on the shape and size of the slow cooker. I’m sorry you had to rush your breakfast and use the oven.
      Please accept my apologies,
      Chef Alli
