Ingredients
  

For the rolls
  • 1 can cinnamon roll dough (8 rolls)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk Or dairy-free alternative like almond or soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Open the cinnamon roll dough and separate each roll. Unroll each piece of dough gently, keeping it intact.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the cinnamon with the powdered sugar.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the unrolled dough. Roll it back up tightly to form a cinnamon roll shape.
  5. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Dip each cinnamon roll in the egg mixture, ensuring each one is entirely coated.
  2. Place coated rolls in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Remove from the heat, drizzle with maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy these scrumptious rolls while warm!

Notes

For dairy-free options, use almond or soy milk. For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal. Be patient while cooking to ensure the rolls are thoroughly cooked. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a toaster oven.
