Ingredients
  

1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into quarters and set aside.

    Make the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

      Coat the Dough Pieces: Add the quartered cinnamon rolls into the egg mixture. Gently fold them until each piece is thoroughly coated, allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes.

        Bake the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the coated cinnamon roll pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.

          Drizzle the Icing: While the bites bake, you can warm the icing from the cinnamon roll package in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for easy drizzling.

            Finish and Serve: Once the French toast bites are baked and slightly cooled, dust them with powdered sugar. Drizzle the warmed icing on top and serve with maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.

              Enjoy these delightful, bite-sized treats that combine the best of a classic cinnamon roll and French toast for a unique breakfast experience!
