- Customized Breakfast: Incorporating your partner's favorite breakfast foods into the meal shows thoughtfulness and consideration!
What Are Some Popular Valentine's Day Breakfast Ingredients?
Fresh fruit and berries like strawberries, raspberries, and cherries can add a pop of pink/red color that fits the Valentine's theme. It's also the perfect opportunity to include rich chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and other sweet treats or confections!
How Can I Make Heart-Shaped Pancakes Without A Mold?
Pour your pancake batter into a squeeze bottle and draw the heart shape directly onto the griddle, starting with the outline and filling in the center. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to shape the batter into hearts while cooking.
What Are The Best Recipes For A Valentine's Day Breakfast In Bed?

Best Valentine's Day Breakfast Recipes: 21+ Ideas For A Romantic Morning Meal!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 10 cinnamon rolls (Baked Grands cinnamon rolls, or 2 tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls, unbaked)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or half & half, or whole milk)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- icing (from the cinnamon roll tubes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and pour the melted butter into a 9x13 baking dish. Spread it evenly along the bottom of the dish.
- Use a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors to cut each cinnamon roll (baked or unbaked) into 8 small pieces. Spread the pieces of cinnamon rolls out in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add the eggs, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and whisk until the egg has been fully combined. Pour the mixture over the cinnamon rolls, coating every piece as evenly as possible. Drizzle the maple syrup on top.
- Bakeat 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes (20-25 if using unbaked cinnamon rolls). If using raw cinnamon rolls, they will be golden-brown when ready.
- Remove your cinnamon roll casserole from the oven. Pour the icing from the tube of cinnamon rolls into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for for 10-15 seconds so it is easier to drizzle. Drizzle the icing evenly over the casserole, slice, and serve.
Notes
- If you do not have the icing from the cinnamon roll tubes, you can make a quick vanilla icing with powdered sugar.
- Using storebought cinnamon rolls is incredibly convenient, but if you like making things from scratch, this casserole would be delicious with homemade cinnamon rolls.
- You can assemble this casserole up to 24 hours in advance. Assemble the casserole as directed, do not bake, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Bake cold, but add 5 minutes to the total time. *This gives the cinnamon rolls extra time to absorb all of the egg mixture.
- To store: Once cool, place your casserole in an airtight container or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 4 days.Â
- To reheat: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Individual portions may be microwaved.
