Ingredient Tips
Cinnamon rolls – This recipe calls for cans of cinnamon rolls, any brand will work
Custard – Use large eggs and milk, cream, or even a flavored coffee creamer like vanilla, cinnamon, or pumpkin.
Nuts – I love pecans but try walnuts or sliced almonds. For a nut-free version, use dried cranberries, raisins, or currants.
Variations – Customize cinnamon roll French toast by mixing in flaked coconut, berries, mini chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or even a swirl of Nutella. Instead of the cinnamon roll icing try topping it with this cream cheese icing.
