Cinnamon Roll French Toast Pinwheels: A Sweet Twist on a Breakfast Classic

Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and unroll each one carefully. Set the icing aside for later use. Gently press the unrolled cinnamon roll flat with your hands to form a rectangular shape.

Make the French Toast Batter:
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. This will create a rich, spiced batter to dip your cinnamon roll pinwheels into.

Roll the Cinnamon Rolls:
After pressing the cinnamon rolls flat, re-roll them tightly from one end to the other, forming a spiral. Once rolled, cut each cinnamon roll into smaller 1- to 2-inch pinwheels.

Dip and Cook:
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each cinnamon roll pinwheel into the French toast batter, coating it thoroughly. Place the pinwheels on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Finish and Serve:
Remove the pinwheels from the skillet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while they’re still warm. Drizzle with the reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with a side of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Enjoy:
Serve your Cinnamon Roll French Toast Pinwheels with a hot cup of coffee or fresh fruit for a satisfying breakfast that will delight your taste buds!
