Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
Oh my goodness, if you love our gluten-free cinnamon rolls, then you are going to want to eat this Instant Pot cinnamon roll French toast casserole right up!
This dish is made with my favorite Canyon Bakehouse bread that is so soft and flavorful. I love that you don’t have to use stale bread for this recipe so you can literally wake up and feel like this meal and make it in under 30 minutes.
While I used their 7-grain bread variety, you can easily use the mountain white, ancient grain, cinnamon raisin, mountain white, honey oat or Hawaiian sweet breads. Any of them work great in this recipe!
Are cinnamon rolls breakfast or dessert?
That is the great debate isn’t it? While cinnamon rolls are traditionally eaten for a decadent Christmas breakfast great with our gluten-free eggs Benedict casserole they are great as a dessert as well.
When you make up this dish, you can serve it up as a dessert or a breakfast. You decide…

What goes good with cinnamon rolls?
I personally love a good egg dish like fried egg avocado toast from Vegetarian Mamma with cinnamon rolls. However, if you want to go all out on decadent breakfast dishes, our gluten-free pancakes or gluten-free waffles are a great addition.
Can you store leftovers easily?
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just heat in the microwave before serving again.

I adore cinnamon roll flavor! I can’t do cream cheese, so I would substitute with goat’s cheese.
