These French Toast Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart Muffins are about as easy as it gets. Made with pre-packaged Cinnamon Roll dough, eggs and milk, in just 20 minutes you’ll have a sweet and delicious breakfast that will impress your family and guests.
During the holiday season, I love preparing easy and delicious breakfasts. The rest of the year, cold cereal is as good as it gets. But there’s something about a sweet, home cooked breakfast that makes the holidays even more cozy.
These French Toast Cinnamon Rolls come together quickly and take just about 15 minutes to bake. You could also make them the night before, covering tightly with foil and pop them into the oven in the morning.

Can these be frozen?
Yes, but make sure to fully defrost them before reheating.
For the French toast cinnamon roll pull apart muffins. How many pieces do you put in each compartment of the muffin pan
About 6 in each one. Depends on how big you cut the pieces, but just evenly fill the muffins cups.
I am definitely going to try that for my family
these look amazing! if I wanted go make my own icing what recipe should i use?
Powered sugar mixed with water or milk an a splash of vanilla. You’ll need to play around with the amounts to get the right consistency.
Hi I’m confused – you say to cut the roll into 8 pieces, 1 piece/muffin tin. So then how does 1 package yield 12 muffins?
Hi Ginny, It doesn’t say to put one piece per muffin cup. Each roll is cut into 8 pieces, then dipped in the egg mixture and stirred together. Then that mixture is divided up into the muffin cups. It’s about 3-4 pieces per muffin cup.
Hi there! Are these something you could make the day before – or are they significantly better same day?
Because you’re using a pre-packaged cinnamon roll dough, I would say definitely eat them same day if you can. You could reheat, but it wouldn’t be as good.
What size muffin tin?
A 12-count muffin pan.
Can I use parchment paper muffin liners?
I’m sure you could!
Hi! Just made these and the bottoms are kinda soggy. Is this because of the mixture?
I suppose it could be, but I haven’t had that problem. They may have needed a little more baking time.
When you say to divide each into 8 pieces. Do u mean to divide each roll into 8 pieces? I like something quick to make or even make the night before.
Yes cut them each into 8 pieces.
Such an easy way to make a special breakfast! My gang would love these on Christmas morning!
