- Refrigerator Cinnamon Rolls - I used Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls for this recipe. I'm sure a store brand would also work.
- Cream Cheese - remove the block of cream cheese from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before for it to come to room temperature.
- Sugar
- Milk - I would use either 2% or whole milk for this recipe.
- Pure Maple Syrup - yes, the real thing. Don't substitute with a store brand pancake syrup.
- Icing - I used both small containers of icing that come with the canned cinnamon rolls.
Baking Tip: Unlike other breakfast casseroles, I do not recommend preparing this the night before. Try my Overnight French Toast Casserole instead!
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls
Open the two cans of cinnamon rolls. Cut each roll into four pieces. Place all the cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom of a 9X12 casserole dish that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer, with the paddle attachment, mix the soften cream cheese, sugar, milk and maple syrup until smooth.
Step 3: Add the Sweetened Cream Cheese Mixture
Add the cream cheese mixture to the top of the cut up cinnamon rolls.
Step 4: Baking Directions
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 20 to 24 minutes.
About halfway through the cooking time, I removed the casserole from the oven and using the back of a spoon, gently spread the cream cheese mixture over all the cinnamon rolls to make sure they were all covered.
Bake until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the cream cheese mixture has melted and cooked.
Step 5: Heat the Cinnamon Roll Icing
Allow the breakfast casserole to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the icing that comes with the canned cinnamon rolls.
Add both tubes of icing into a silicone measuring cup. Place the measuring cup in a microwave and heat on high for about 15 seconds. Be careful not to overheat the icing. If you do, it will turn liquid.
Gently pour the canned icing to the top of the baked cinnamon roll casserole. Serve immediately.

Well, I think making the cinnamon rolls into a casserole like this one is the best way! You could also add simple stir ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, chopped cooked bacon or even cooked sausage.
You should wait around 5 to 10 minutes before adding the icing to the top of cinnamon rolls and this breakfast casserole recipe. If you add the icing too soon, it will melt right into the cinnamon rolls due to the heat.
