A simple and delicious cinnamon roll casserole perfect for brunch or breakfast, made with canned dough and topped with a sweet icing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12.2 ounce) package refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll the cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters. Place the pieces in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped pecans (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  7. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. While the casserole is baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and drizzly. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it cool slightly before drizzling with the prepared icing.

Notes

  • For a gooey center, ensure the egg mixture saturates the cinnamon roll pieces.
  • You can make this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight.
  • Pecans add a nice crunch, but you can omit them if you prefer.
  • Adjust the amount of milk in the icing to achieve your desired thickness.
