Vegan Cinnamon Roll-Ups French Toast Casserole, woo that’s a mouth full! But it should definitely be in your vocabulary. Because this french toast casserole is TASTY! We are talking cinnamon roll tasting good.

I wanted to make something for Christmas morning that would be decadent enough for Christmas morning, but quicker than waiting for cinnamon rolls to bake.

So, alas comes this tasty breakfast.

There are other options if you don’t want an actual casserole. You could dip the rolls, then cook the rolls in a skillet with vegan butter and grill on all sides and serve. And they are extremely delish!

But lets be real, this is much quicker and easier than cooking each individual french toast roll.

This tasted great the first day it was made and the second if you heat it up a little bit.

My husband thought it tasted just like cinnamon rolls. I thought it was more of a combo of cinnamon rolls meet french toast.

I mean what’s more welcoming?

Let’s chat about bread for a minute. You don’t want your typical crusty stale bread for this. You need to be able to roll it out and then roll it up. I went with a thick, but softer white bread.

What do you need to make these Vegan Cinnamon Roll-Ups French Toast Casserole?

• 1 loaf of thick toast (the amount you use will vary depending on the size of your toast)
• chia seeds
• plant milk
• cinnamon, ground
• nutmeg
• vanilla extract
• salt
• sugar
• flour
• baking powder
• vegan butter, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar

How do make this vegan french toast casserole?

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees, and greasing an 8×8 pan, and set aside.

Next, make your Liquid. Take a small mixing bowl and mix your plant milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, salt, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and ground chia seeds, whisk together until combined.

Let this sit and thicken.

Now take your bread slices, cut off the crust, then take a rolling pin and roll the bread out thin, repeat this with the other slices, and set aside.

Take your filling and combine.

Take your flattened bread and put about a teaspoon of the filling and spread evenly in the middle and then roll tightly up, pinching the seam to hold the roll together.

Set aside and then repeat with the remaining bread until your filling is gone.

Then take the rolls and place them into the 8×8 as you would with enchiladas.

Now Take your liquid and pour it evenly over the rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Check at 25 minutes.

It should have most of the wiggle out of it.

Make your glaze by combining the glaze ingredients with a whisk or fork until smooth.

Then drizzle the glaze over the french toast casserole.

This tastes great out of the oven or the next day warmed up.
