Strawberry Chocolate Cinnamon Roll Bake adds a sweet taste and delicious flair to breakfast. And don't forget about that chocolate.
This week, I challenged myself to bake something using items from the refrigerator and pantry. A few weeks ago, I grabbed some refrigerated cinnamon rolls for a quick, easy breakfast for the kids.
But then we got busy, and I forgot about them. I found them in the back of the fridge and thought they could be fun to work with.
These peach cinnamon roll cups were an easy treat that I made last year, so I headed into the pantry to see what pie filling I had. I had every intention of making something very similar, but then I got to thinking.
What if I cut up the rolls and put them in a casserole like French toast? We always use extra bagels in this cherry chocolate French toast bake, so I figured it would work.
And since I had quite a few cans of pie filling taking up space on a pantry shelf, I decided to swirl that into the mixture too.
As I was in the pantry, I glanced over at the shelf that holds the chocolate. We won't even talk about how many bags of chocolate chips I have managed to stuff into one of the bins on the bottom shelf.
Since there is never a shortage of chocolate chips, I went ahead and sprinkled some of the mini ones in the cinnamon roll bake, too. I take every chance I can get to make chocolate acceptable for breakfast.
This easy breakfast casserole bakes up light and fluffy with pockets of gooey chocolate and strawberry goodness. The drizzle of frosting on top added the perfect touch! Trust me, and eat a big square of this warm from the oven! It is absolutely divine.
It also reheats really well if you need to make it ahead of time. Just pop a square in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, and it melts and gets all gooey again! This strawberry chocolate cinnamon roll bake would be perfect for an after school snack or an early morning breakfast. It's your call!

This recipe is delicious! Having a problem at the bottom of the bake though. The egg mix pools in the holes on the bottom of the dish where the rolls don’t touch. Makes like like scrambled eggs. Any way to prevent this from happening? Happened in a couple of the corners too.

I don't think there really is any way to prevent this from happening. The egg mixture being poured over biscuits/rolls/bread will create some egg-like custard pockets. Ours had a little bit too, but it didn't stop my family from devouring it.

I want to bury my face in this. I love how a bake/casserole like this is so soft and gooey. The flavors sound incredible!
