Step 1: Preheat your griddle or a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Unroll the store-bought cinnamon roll dough. Gently separate each roll. Using a rolling pin, flatten each cinnamon roll into a thin, oblong shape, about 1/4-inch thick. You can also press them flat with your hands if you don’t have a rolling pin.
Step 3: In a shallow dish (like a pie plate), whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and an optional pinch of ground cinnamon until well combined and frothy.
Step 4: Carefully dip each flattened cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess liquid to drip off.
Step 5: Place the egg-dipped cinnamon rolls onto the preheated griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. They should be slightly puffed and fragrant.
Step 6: Once cooked, transfer the cinnamon roll French toast to a plate. While still warm, gently roll each one up into a tight log. The warmth helps them hold their shape.
Step 7: Warm the reserved cinnamon roll icing packet (if included) in the microwave for a few seconds until drizzly. Drizzle generously over the warm roll ups. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll Ups!
