Ingredients

Scale

For the casserole:

  • 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the topping:

  • Reserved frosting (from cinnamon rolls)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Pour the melted butter into the dish.
  2. Remove the cinnamon rolls from the package, reserving the frosting for later. Cut the cinnamon rolls into 3/4 inch pieces and place them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces.
  4. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  5. Let the casserole cool for 10-15 minutes, then drizzle the frosting over the top and serve.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning, adding 5–10 extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Customization Ideas: Add cream cheese cubes, chopped nuts, sliced apples, or blueberries for a twist. You can also swap the milk for almond or oat milk.
  • Baking Tip: If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil halfway through baking. The casserole is done when the center is set and a knife comes out clean.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the unbaked casserole or baked leftovers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking or reheating.
