Instructions

Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 bite-sized pieces. Set aside the included icing for later.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined.
Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter.
Add the coated bites to the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm with reserved icing, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use plant-based milk and dairy-free butter for a vegan version. Substitute homemade cinnamon rolls if desired. Make-ahead: Prep cinnamon rolls in advance; reheat in oven or skillet for crispness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the bites become soggy, re-crisp in a hot skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning.
