Equipment

Ingredients

2 cans (8 count 12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
5 large eggs
1 cup (236ml) half and half (can substitute heavy cream or milk)
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
¼ cup (59ml) honey (can substitute maple syrup)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut each cinnamon roll into four pieces and place them in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish. Save the frosting packets to use after baking the casserole.
2 cans (8 count 12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, cinnamon, and allspice together until well combined.
5 large eggs, 1 cup (236ml) half and half, 1 ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp allspice
Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls and then drizzle the honey over the entire dish.
¼ cup (59ml) honey
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls turn golden brown on top.
When the cinnamon roll casserole is done and out of the oven, take the icing packets and place in the microwave. Microwave the icing about 15 seconds or until icing thins. (If the rolls that you bought have an icing packet that is not microwavable, you will need to empty the icing into a bowl. Please read the instructions on the icing packet for your rolls). Drizzle icing over the entire cinnamon casserole and serve warm.

Notes

Cinnamon roll casserole variations

Make it less sweet: omit the honey
Nuts: sprinkle 3/4 cup chopped nuts over the pan before adding the honey
Chocolate chips: sprinkle 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the pan before adding the honey
Bacon: sprinkle 3/4 cup chopped cooked bacon over the pan before adding the honey
Eggnog: replace the half and half with eggnog for a Christmas flavor

Frosting options

If you want to top your cinnamon roll casserole with cream cheese frosting instead of the packaged frosting that comes with the cinnamon rolls, follow our cream cheese frosting recipe but add 1 tablespoon of milk or more to thin it out for drizzling consistency.
