Ingredients
  

1 can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (8-count)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (whole or almond)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

1 tablespoon butter (for frying)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the cinnamon rolls. Open the can and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into quarters and set aside.

    Make the French Toast Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

      Coat the Cinnamon Roll Bites: Dip each quarter of the cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted and hot, add the coated cinnamon roll bites, a few at a time. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

          Bake for Extra Crispness: If you prefer a crispier texture, transfer the cooked bites to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 5-7 minutes.

            Serve: Remove from the pan and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup.
