Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter melted
16 cinnamon rolls unbaked and cut into 8 pieces per roll (homemade or store-bought)
4 whole eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
icing from the cinnamon rolls

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (if baking right away) and pour the melted butter into the bottom of the pan.
Take each uncooked cinnamon roll and cut it into 8 pieces. I do this literally like I'm slicing a pie! Add all the cinnamon roll pieces to the pan, on top of the butter. Be sure to set aside the icing, you will use it after the baking process.
In a bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients together until well combined and the eggs are fully incorporated. Pour the mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces.
At this point, you can cover and put the casserole in the fridge overnight or for just a few hours. This allows the cinnamon rolls to absorb more of the egg mixture for that perfect gooey texture. If you don't have time, you can also bake it right away.
Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until cinnamon rolls are golden brown. This time will vary based on the size and type of your cinnamon rolls, so keep an eye on the color when in doubt!
Allow the finished dish to cool for about 5-10 minutes before icing. If you are using store-bought icing it may be very thick. You can heat it up or thin it with milk to create a drizzly texture! Top with your desired amount of icing and enjoy!

To Make Ahead

If you want to make this dish in advance, the process is so simple! You will still need to bake it the day of serving for best results.

1. Prep the recipe as written up to baking, but don't bake it.
2. Cover and place in the fridge overnight, or up to 24 hours.
3. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F and place the casserole in the oven.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5-10 minutes before covering it.
5. Take the icing with you (if traveling) and top right before serving. Enjoy!
