Directions
Cut each biscuit into four pieces and then place in a baking dish that’s been sprayed with non-stick baking spray. Then combine the milk, eggs, cinnamon and maple syrup in a mixing bowl using a whisk being careful to break up the eggs.
Finally pour the mixture over the top of the cut up cinnamon roll biscuits.
Baking Directions
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.
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before pouring the icing on top.
How to Add the Icing
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.
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.

I made this, it was delicious, but took 40-45 minutes to bake. I have seen a similar recipe in another site that says 45 minutes. Just so people allow enough time.
Thanks for the tip.
Made this up this morning but being just me & my husband I only made 1/2 the recipe.
I might add that it was Delicious.
OMG, I so want this right now! Looks and sounds absolutely delicious AND easy. These ingredients are going on my grocery list for sure! I’m visiting from Wow Me Wednesday where I shared #32. 🙂
Thank you so much!!!
Can you use a non-dairy milk option such as almond milk or oat milk?
Do you usually use almond milk or oat milk in place of regular milk in recipes? If so, how do those recipes turn out?
I personally have never tried any other type of non-diary option. But I don’t think it would make much of a difference. I’d be interested in hearing how the recipe comes out for you using almond milk. Thanks for visiting!
What kind of syrup do you use
I used maple syrup in this recipe. You can also use your favorite syrup too! Thanks for visiting.
When you say 2 cans, do you refer to the bigger Grands cinnamon rolls or the smaller/regular Pillsbury size?
I use the regular package of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls that have 8 rolls per package. You need 16 rolls to make this recipe. I will update the recipe card. Thank you for visiting.
Has anyone made a double batch of this? Are there adjustments to cook time? How many people does this serve? Looks yummy thinking of doing a big batch for a family reunion!
So glad I found this! Could you make this at night and bake the next morning?
I'm not sure what the egg mixture would do to the cinnamon rolls. But you could do the prep work the night before. Mix the eggs together with the milk, cinnamon and syrup. I would wait to cut up the cinnamon rolls till morning though…they might dry out too much. Thanks for visiting Morgan!
