Easy Cinnamon Roll Bake

If you like this recipe, please share!

Easy cinnamon roll bake is an easy and delicious way to make breakfast for your family. It’s perfect for a holiday or special occasion or just because.

A good friend shared this recipe with me. I’ve made it for years now and it’s been our go-to Christmas morning breakfast. With big dinners usually planned for the holiday, this satisfies until an early meal or mid-day snack. Plus, it doesn’t take long to make so you can get back to opening presents!

Start with refrigerated cinnamon rolls, the ones that come with icing. My girlfriend adds pecans to her version which is a great way to change up this casserole. My family loved the chocolate chips.

I’ve made easy cinnamon roll bake in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish and my Le Creuset oval baking dish and both work well. The presentation is pretty in either dish. Thought you could consider this a casserole, I think of it more as a breakfast bread pudding.

When I served this for breakfast, I only spooned the syrup that was in the pan over the top. I did not offer more maple syrup. This is a sweet breakfast item and one you may want to serve alongside eggs for a heartier meal.
