For the French Toast Bites
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing) Soft, fluffy, and aromatic—these cinnamon rolls are the heart of your dish.

Instructions
Preparation
- Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Cut each roll into bite-sized pieces, approximately four pieces per roll.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Cooking
- Dip each cinnamon roll bite into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak up all the delicious flavors.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the bites in a single layer.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and delicious.
Serving

Notes
Avoid overcrowding the skillet for best results. Also, if you prefer a healthier version, consider using whole wheat or gluten-free rolls and almond milk.
