This Cinnamon Roll French Toast recipe turns your favorite cinnamon rolls into sticky, sweet delicious French toast for an over-the-top breakfast or brunch!

Cinnamon Roll French Toast

When I was a kid, I loved the holidays because my Dad would make French toast on the weekend for breakfast. We did not have it often, but that made it extra special when we did have French toast.

When us kids were on our own, we would make cinnamon toast, which was our kids’ version of a cinnamon roll.

This Cinnamon Roll French Toast combines some of my favorite childhood breakfast memories by combining cinnamon rolls and French toast.

What is Cinnamon Roll French Toast?

Cinnamon Roll French Toast is a traditional French Toast recipe except that it is made with cinnamon rolls instead of regular bread.

It adds that cinnamon flavor and the sweetness of the cinnamon rolls to really take the French Toast over the top.

What Kind of Cinnamon Rolls Are Used in Cinnamon Roll French Toast?

You can use your favorite cinnamon rolls in this recipe. You can use:

  1. Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, or
  2. Your favorite refrigerated cinnamon rolls, like Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls, or
  3. Cinnamon rolls from your favorite bakery.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast

I used refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls. I prepared them per the package instructions, baking them in the oven.

Do you Ice the Cinnamon Rolls?

Typically cinnamon rolls have a cream cheese icing that is spread on top of the cinnamon rolls. Do you ice the cinnamon rolls before making the French toast? I consider this a personal choice.

I chose to not frost the cinnamon rolls before using them to make the French toast because I thought it might make it too sweet and change the texture of the French toast. However, I have seen others where they did ice the cinnamon rolls before using them in their French toast.

4. Either dip each cinnamon roll slice in the egg and milk mixture or place the slices in a 9 x 13 pan and pour the egg and milk mixture over the slices and let them sit for about 15 minutes to give them time to soak up the eggs and milk.

5. In a hot skillet, add the butter. Then place the egg-soaked cinnamon roll slices into the hot skillet.
