Cinnamon Roll French Toast | Jennifer Cooks

I have a wonderful recipe for French Toast this morning! When I was visiting my sister two weeks ago, I made a big batch of my Homemade Cinnamon Rolls – and I mean BIG batch! I thought for sure the cinnamon rolls would be gone in a flash, and many of them were, but as luck would have it, we had a few leftover a few days later and they were getting dry. I couldn’t imagine throwing them out, so I decided to make Cinnamon Roll French Toast. And I have to tell you, it was so, so good!

Cinnamon Roll French Toast | Jennifer CooksTake the leftover cinnamon rolls and scrape off any goopy icing, you can have a little, but if it’s thick, go ahead and scrape most of it off to prevent that side from burning.

So, IF -and that’s a big IF- you find yourself with some leftover cinnamon rolls that are a little dry, I highly recommend making this recipe! I hope you enjoy!
