Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans of cinnamon rolls
- 1/2 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup of raisins
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Set aside the icing packets that typically come with the rolls.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces. This will help create a more distributed and easier-to-serve dessert.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the quartered cinnamon roll pieces with maple syrup, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans and raisins over the syrup-coated cinnamon roll pieces. Gently fold to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer to ensure uniform cooking.
- Dust the top of the mixture with ground cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. If desired, drizzle the reserved icing packets over the top of the bake.
- Serve warm, portioning into 8 equal servings. Can be accompanied by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Tips
- Choose Quality Cinnamon Rolls: Opt for pre-made rolls with good flavor, as they'll be the foundation of your dish.
- Uniform Cutting: When quartering the rolls, try to make pieces roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Syrup Distribution: Gently fold the maple syrup to coat rolls without making them soggy.
- Pecan and Raisin Variation: Feel free to swap pecans for walnuts or omit raisins based on preference.
- Icing Hack: If you want extra sweetness, warm the icing packets slightly before drizzling for better spreadability.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream can transform this from great to extraordinary.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the dish the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning for a stress-free breakfast.
