Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
This Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole takes cinnamon rolls to a whole new level. This recipe is so easy. Start with a tube of ready-made cinnamon rolls and add a few kitchen staples. The result, a delicious casserole that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
I really enjoy making breakfast on the weekends for my guys but sometimes I run out of ideas for things to make. You know how it is. You want to make something tasty and hearty but you've made the same few things over and over for months on end and then you find an awesome new recipe that you give a try and it turns out even better than you expected.
I bought a big box of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls at Sam's Club and found this recipe on the back ~ I am so glad I made it. I changed the recipe up just slightly from the original omitting the nuts, some of the additional syrup and the powdered sugar - no need to have a sugar OVERLOAD!
That's what happened this weekend. Cinnamon rolls are one of my family's favorite sweet treats so I knew this would be a hit.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this as an overnight casserole that you refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning, or would the bread get too soggy? Thanks!
Hi Renee,
I haven't tried it as an overnight casserole ~ I think it probably would get soggy but, you may want to try this in a crock pot ~ I haven't tried that method but on low that might work. If I do try it, I will let you know.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Mary Beth
I was wanting to ask the same question. Did you try it? Just curious. Thanks.
I haven't tried it yet ~ thanks for the reminder, Wendy! When I do, I'll update the post.
Found this through Pinterest & made it for my Mom for our Mother's Day brunch this morning - everyone LOVED it! Thank you so much for the great recipe!
These 2 things are my oldest favorite things... I am so going to make this in the morning!! Looks so good!!
Do you think this could be made the night ahead and cooked the next morning?
Do you think this could be made the night ahead and cooked the next morning?
Did anyone every try this overnight? I really want to make it but I need something that can be made the night before
I don't know of anyone who has, Libbi. If I find out that it can be made in advance, I will let you know.
My kids ask for it for dinner sometimes ~ I hope it's a hit for your little guy. Thanks so much for stopping by. 🙂
I've pinned this recipe for later. My family will love this one!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe. 🙂
