Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Rolls
Preheat your oven to the temperature on the cinnamon roll package. Unroll the cinnamon rolls, reserving the icing. Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 3: Dip & Coat
Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let excess drip off.
Step 4: Cook to Golden
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the coated pieces for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Icing Time!
While the bites cook, warm the cinnamon roll icing. Once the bites are cooked, drizzle the warm icing over them.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
Transfer to a plate and serve warm. Add a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
Keto & Low-Carb Variations
- Use keto-friendly cinnamon rolls (almond or coconut flour).
- Substitute milk with unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
- Use a sugar-free alternative like stevia or monk fruit instead of maple syrup.
- Ensure your icing is also low-carb/keto-friendly, or make your own with sugar substitutes.
Tips & Tricks
- Fresh cinnamon rolls are best, but leftovers work too!
- For extra crispy bites, bake them in the oven instead of frying.
- Get creative with toppings! Chopped nuts, berries, or powdered sugar all add delicious flair.
- Adjust the cinnamon to your liking.
