Equipment
- 1 small ramekin or souffle dish
Ingredients
- 1 Legendary Foods Sweet Roll choose any of the three flavors. Purchase through links below
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or coconut cream or unsweetened almond milk
- 10 drops stevia optional if you want it sweeter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- For this particular single serving, I used a souffle dish. You could also use a ramekin that is oven safe.
- Spray the inside of the dish with cooking spray or brush some coconut oil or melted butter liberally with a pastry brush around the bottom and sides.
- Now take your one sweet roll, whichever flavor you choose, and cut it into small cubes with a sharp knife. Now take the cubes of the sweet cinnamon buns and put them in your greased ramekin or souffle dish.
- If you want to use at least 5 of these rolls at once and get some quick breakfasts prepped up, then you would use an 8x8 square pan.
- Set this aside while you prepare the egg batter!
- In a small bowl whisk up your egg, ground cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, heavy cream and optional stevia drops. Pour these wet ingredients over the cut sweet rolls in your dish and stir it up with a spoon.
- Press the chunks down a little bit so they will soak up the egg mixture.
- Now place the ramekin on a parchment paper lined baking sheet so if it does spill over when it rises up, you won't have a mess in your oven!
- Bake it for 20 minutes until it is golden brown. Then let it cool for 5 minutes.
- You will see it has risen up while baking, but then it deflates as it cools.
- The frosting ingredients that are used on the sweet roll initially give the frosting taste and flavor in the mini casserole so there is no need to top it with anything unless you want to go for some extra healthy fat and dot it with some real butter!
- Any leftovers need to be wrapped with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container up to 5 days.
- You can reheat it in the original ramekin at 350F for 8 minutes.
Notes
Each different flavor that Legendary Foods offers has its own unique frosting to match the sweet roll flavor.
Cinnamon sweet rolls have a vanilla frosting instead of a cream cheese frosting that blends well with the cinnamon sugar mixture in the filling.
Wild Berry sweet rolls have a mixed berry flavor in its frosting and filling.
Then lastly, the Chocolate sweet roll has its chocolate frosting to match the chocolate filling.
These figures are based on using the cinnamon roll version. The berry version and chocolate version will vary in figures.
