Ingredients

• Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
• Milk
• Eggs
• Cinnamon
• Maple syrup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cut each biscuit into four pieces and then place in a baking dish that's been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

Step 2: Then combine the milk, eggs, cinnamon and maple syrup in a mixing bowl using a whisk being careful to break up the eggs. 

Step 3: Finally pour the mixture over the top of the cut up cinnamon roll biscuits. 

Baking Directions

Step 4: Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the cinnamon roll casserole and biscuits are golden brown and have puffed up nicely.

Step 5: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before pouring the icing on top.

How to Add the Icing

Step 6: In a microwave safe bowl or these silicon measuring cups , warm up the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls in 10 second intervals being careful not to melt the icing too much.  

Step 7: Pour the warmed icing on top of the cinnamon roll breakfast casserole. Serve immediately. If you want something a little different than the icing that comes with the canned refrigerator biscuits, try my Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.

Prep Ahead Tips for Breakfast Casserole

You can prepare and bake this casserole before your company arrives or your family wakes up:

• Prepare as directed only do not add the icing until you're ready to serve.  
• Right before serving, place the baked casserole in the microwave and warm it up for about one to two minutes. 
• Then heat the icing and drizzle on top. 

Storage and Reheating Tips

Refrigerator: Wait until the casserole has cooled to room temperature to prevent condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can lead to sogginess.

Then, transfer the casserole to an airtight container or wrap it securely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This casserole will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer: You can also freeze any leftovers for up to a month. Make sure it's tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.

Thawing: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating to serve.

Reheating: You can reheat any leftover cinnamon roll casserole either in the microwave for about 30 seconds or you can place it in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes.

If it appears to be drying out, you can add a few tablespoons of milk over the top to reintroduce moisture. Continue heating until it's warmed through, which should take about 20 minutes total.
