Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll Dough
- 1 can cinnamon roll dough
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Other
- Butter for frying (about 1-2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat skillet: Heat your skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the French toast bites evenly.
- Prepare dough pieces: Open the cinnamon roll dough can and cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Mix egg batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined for a flavorful egg coating.
- Dip dough pieces: Dip each piece of cinnamon roll dough into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated adequately.
- Cook in butter: Melt butter in the preheated skillet, then add the coated dough pieces.
- Cook evenly: Fry the dough pieces until golden brown on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, turning them carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve with powdered sugar: Remove the French toast bites from the skillet and sprinkle them generously with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness.

- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your stove’s heat to avoid burning.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
- Optional toppings include maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream for added variety.
- These bites can be made ahead and reheated gently in a skillet or oven.
