How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole

I use the icing that comes in the can of cinnamon rolls on top and sprinkle with toasted pecans once it’s done. That’s it! I told you this was an easy recipe!
If you prefer a more traditional Cinnamon Roll Casserole approach, you can chop up the premade rolls into cubes before placing in the pan. Easy peasy!

Becky’s tips
- NOTE: When I first made this I made it with regular cinnamon rolls and 8 fit into a 6x9-inch baking dish. When I made it again, I used 10 Grands in a 9x13-inch baking dish. You can do either!
Nutrition Information
I took this out after the alloted time but most of the rolls were not cooked at all. Only the ones around the edges. So it definitely needed more time and/or a higher temp.
Hi Rachel, oven temperatures can vary by up to 25°F! I recommend investing in an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature!
I made a small one, cutting the ingredients in half. I did melt some butter adding brown sugar making a thick syrup. I drizzled that over everything right before I baked it. It made it a crispy sweet crunchy topping. I didn’t bake it with syrup either and it was plenty sweet enough for my family. This will be a new regular in our house. Thank u very much for this recipe’!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your experience, Angela!
Can I make this in a cookie sheet pan?
I recommend using a pan with high sides to keep the filling from overflowing all over your oven!
Excellent Recipe!! Everyone loved this delicious breakfast!
Thanks for sharing, Stacie!
This was our Christmas morning breakfast and it was a very special treat! I cut the ingredients in half to use just one tube of cinnamon rolls. I subbed fat free half and half for the heavy cream and also used sugar free syrup. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
