    Cup of Yum
  1. Open the packages of cinnamon rolls and place the icing in the refrigerator. Break apart the cinnamon rolls and cut into 4 pieces each. Place rolls in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Pour melted butter over the cinnamon rolls and stir to coat.
  3. Dump cinnamon rolls into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Pour egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls.
  6. Drizzle with the syrup and sprinkle the pecans over the top.
  7. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or for up to 12 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  9. Remove cover from pan and bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through.
  10. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before drizzling with reserved icing.
  11. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For better custard absorption, soak the cinnamon roll pieces overnight in the refrigerator, though this step can be skipped if short on time.
  • Smaller cinnamon rolls work best for even soaking and baking.
  • Real maple syrup is preferred for topping, but pancake syrup can be used as an alternative.
  • Chopped pecans on top add texture but can be left out for nut allergies.
