Ingredients
    Cinnamon Roll French Toast
  • 6 Eat Royo cinnamon rolls (1 package - Discount code "COOKINGKATIELADY")
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 30 g protein powder (I used Naked Vanilla Whey)
  • 1 tbsp butter (grass fed)
  • Pecans (for topping, optional)
  • Maple syrup (for topping, optional)
    • Maple Cream Cheese Topping (Optional)
  • 3 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • Maple syrup (to taste)
  • Greek yogurt (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each cinnamon roll until relatively thin and even. Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and protein powder until smooth and well combined.
  3. 3
    Dip each flattened cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are completely coated. Allow the cinnamon rolls to soak in the batter for a few minutes so they can absorb as much of the mixture as possible.
  4. 4
    Melt the grass-fed butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked cinnamon rolls, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  5. 5
    Cook for approximately 2–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  6. 6
    While the French toast cooks, prepare the optional maple cream cheese topping. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt until smooth and spreadable. Adjust the maple syrup and Greek yogurt to taste until you reach your desired sweetness and consistency.
  7. 7
    Serve the cinnamon roll French toast warm with the maple cream cheese topping, chopped pecans, and a little extra maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
