Baked Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole is one of those casseroles that is easy to throw together on any morning – whether you are busy and just need something that quickly comes together or your mornings are sweet and slow.

We love this on Christmas mornings because it gives us that time to enjoy festivities without having to stand at the stove or prep food for long periods of times. It feeds a crowd and kids love it!

This breakfast casserole is just the right amount of sweetness to pair with a hot cup of coffee, fluffy and filling from the custardy eggs, and would be perfect alongside breakfast sausage.

Tips

This dish creates an egg-like custard layer on the bottom. If you don’t love a tasty, sweet custard layer, just use 2 eggs for this recipes inside of 4!
Serve this week sausage or bacon and a side of fruit to make it a full meal – would be great for dinner, too!
Set a timer while the casserole is in the oven and let the oven do all the cooking!

FAQs

The key ingredients refrigerated cinnamon rolls, eggs, milk, brown sugar, and butter.

Store your the casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. This is one of those meals that are just better when you can enjoy it immediately but if you are meal prepping for the week, it can be refrigerated and reheated when you are ready to eat it (or just enjoy it cold!)

Absolutely! Walnuts, almonds, pecans, and macadamia nuts are some of my favorites when paired with brown sugar and cinnamon. It would add such a delicious texture to this recipe!

I did not test this recipe with non-dairy milk but I say go for it!

You could use creamy oat milk to replace the cows milk in this recipe!
