Ingredients
  

For the Roll-Ups
  • 1 package cinnamon rolls Use refrigerated pre-made cinnamon rolls.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk Can use dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter or oil for frying Use as needed for frying.
  • Maple syrup for serving Optional toppings include powdered sugar or fresh fruit.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Open the package of cinnamon rolls and unroll each one. Flatten the dough slightly with a rolling pin or your hands.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Take a flattened cinnamon roll, dip it into the custard mixture, making sure it’s fully covered, and then carefully roll it up.
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat.
  2. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until they’re golden brown and warmed through.
Serving
  1. Remove from the skillet and let any excess oil drip off. Serve fresh with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a lactose-free version, substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative. Ensure the roll-ups are tightly rolled to prevent unraveling during cooking.
