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
*The nutritional value of the icing varies by brand and is not included in the nutritional information for this recipe.
Using store bought 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.
To reheat: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Individual portions may be microwaved.
