Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious casserole:

For the Casserole:

  • 2 (8-count) tubes of cinnamon rolls
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or substitute with milk or half & half)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Bananas Foster Sauce:

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 bananas, sliced into rounds
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Dish

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter to ensure your casserole doesn’t stick.

2. Assemble the Casserole Base

Separate the cinnamon rolls into individual rolls (8 per tube) and cut each roll into 6 small pieces. Spread the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.

3. Make the Custard

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this creamy mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.

4. Bake

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rolls are cooked through. While the casserole bakes, move on to making the sauce.

The Star of the Show: Bananas Foster Sauce

This rich and buttery sauce takes the casserole to the next level! Here’s how to make it:

1. Melt the Butter

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquid.

2. Add the Sweetness

Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to bubble gently.

3. Add Bananas and Pecans

Carefully stir in the sliced bananas and chopped pecans. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring gently to coat everything in the caramelized sauce.

Assemble and Serve

Once your casserole is out of the oven, pour the warm bananas foster sauce evenly over the top. Serve immediately for best results. For an extra indulgent touch, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Tips for Success

  1. Serve Fresh: This casserole is best served fresh from the oven for optimal texture and flavor.
  2. Don’t Skip the Sauce: The bananas foster sauce is what makes this dish truly special—don’t skimp on it!
  3. Customization Options: If you’re not a fan of pecans, try swapping them for walnuts or leaving them out entirely. You can also add a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

FAQs

Can I Make This Casserole Ahead of Time?
While this recipe is quick to assemble, it’s not ideal for preparing in advance as the cinnamon rolls may absorb too much of the custard mixture and become soggy. For best results, prepare it fresh in the morning.

Can I Use Milk Instead of Heavy Cream?
Absolutely! If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute milk or half & half for heavy cream without compromising too much on flavor.

How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick treat.

Final Thoughts

Bananas Foster French Toast Casserole is everything you could want in a breakfast dish—sweet, gooey, and completely irresistible. It’s perfect for holiday mornings, weekend brunches, or any day you feel like indulging in something special. With its simple ingredients and quick prep time, this recipe will quickly become a favorite in your household.

So go ahead—grab those cinnamon rolls and ripe bananas and treat yourself to this decadent breakfast casserole. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
