🍽️ Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole: Effortless Morning Indulgence
There’s nothing like waking up to the sweet scent of cinnamon filling your kitchen. This Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a simple, crowd-pleasing breakfast for holiday mornings, lazy weekends, or any time you want a treat that practically makes itself. The trick?

🧺 Ingredients

Item	Amount
Refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)	2 tubes (8-count each)
Eggs	4 large
Milk	¾ cup
Vanilla extract	2 tsp
Maple syrup	½ cup
Ground cinnamon	1 tsp
Granulated sugar (for topping)	1 tbsp
Melted unsalted butter (optional)	2 tbsp

🥄 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and spread evenly in the pan. Set the icing aside for later.

Step 2: Make the Custard
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup. Pour the mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure all pieces are well-coated.

Step 3: Add Topping & Chill
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).

Step 4: Bake & Serve
When ready, let the casserole sit while you preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. Drizzle with the reserved icing before serving.

🌟 Tips & Variations

• Stir in chopped pecans, raisins, or mini chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
• Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice for a cozy seasonal twist.
• Serve with fruit, scrambled eggs, or a savory breakfast side for a full morning spread.
