Cinnamon roll casserole bake by Casie Buck

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - When we’re ready for an easy but delicious breakfast, we know Casie Buck, owner of the Oaklea Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Winnsboro, will have a recipe we’re going to want to make immediately. This time, she brings us a scrumptious cinnamon roll-based casserole.

Cinnamon Roll Casserole

Ingredients:

• 2 - 8 count packages of Cinnamon Rolls with Original Icing, Refrigerated Canned Pastry Dough
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Chop the cinnamon roll dough into 1/2-inch cubes. For a smaller pan, make the pieces smaller, as they will expand while baking.
3. Place the cinnamon roll pieces in the bottom of your desired dish. The ingredient list above is for a 9x13 inch baking pan, if you halve the recipe, it fits nicely in a 7x11 pan. 
4. Pour melted butter over the dough pieces, ensuring the bottom of the pan is completely coated.
5. Whisk together heavy whipping cream, eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla in a small mixing bowl.
6. Pour the mixture over the dough pieces, ensuring it spreads evenly throughout the baking pan.
7. Before placing the pan into the oven, drizzle the maple syrup over the casserole, then sprinkle brown sugar over the top.
8. Bake at 375 degrees for approx 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
9. After removing the casserole from the oven and while it is still hot, drizzle the icing (from the packs of cinnamon rolls) over the top. 
10. Serve and enjoy!
