This breakfast casserole is a simple sweet dish the whole family will love, it never lasts long at my house.
I have all the Christmas morning feels with this recipe. I wanted to bake up a simple yet delicious dish that would feed the whole family and this Cinnamon French Toast bubble up is just the thing. Sweet enough to feel like an indulgence but can definitely keep you on track. This dish can be whipped up in just a few minutes and popped in the oven. Serves 12 and on WW Freestyle it’s just 4 smart points per serving.
Ingredients used
- Biscuits
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Eggs
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
- Icing sugar *confectionary sugar
How to make Cinnamon French Toast Bubble Up (step by step):
- Preheat the oven to 350F, and spray a 9×13 dish with some nonstick cooking spray.
- Open both rolls of biscuits and cut all 20 biscuits into 6 small pieces each, giving you 120 pieces of dough.
- Mix the 1 tablespoon of sugar and a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon in a bag large enough for you to add the dough pieces to and shake, making sure to cover all of the pieces. The pieces will clump together so be sure to separate them while shaking the cinnamon sugar onto them.
- Place the dough pieces into the sprayed dish to cover the bottom evenly.
- In a bowl or Pyrex measuring cup, whisk the eggs and milk together, and stir in vanilla and cinnamon.
- Pour the egg mixture over the dough pieces. Bake it in the oven for 35 minutes.
- Remove it from the oven. You can now mix the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla together and then pour it over the French toast bake while it is still warm.
- Let the icing set and then cut it into 12 equal servings. Enjoy!
I find this recipe is best enjoyed the day it is baked. It can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days. You can freeze this recipe, to reheat let dethaw then heat up in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave.

Notes
Would the bagel recipe (greek yogurt, self rising flour) work in place of the buttermilk biscuits?
Hi Joy, sorry I have only made it as it is so I can’t give an honest answer, it might turn out ok, but it might also not bake properly, my preference would be the biscuits
Joy, I had the same question. It would save a lot of points! Did you try it? How did it taste?
Where do you find these biscuits in Canada? I find they are only available in the states at Walmart! Otherwise I have to use Pillsbury biscuit dough, which makes the points per serving 7! Thanks!
I actually buy them when I cross the border since I live close to one, you can use the pillsbury and weigh out 7.5oz, then I suggest to cut the biscuits open first then cut those 2 pieces in 6 each, that way you’ll have enough dough pieces in total (cause the pillsbury are bigger biscuits)
I wonder if this would work in a regular muffin tin (vs baking dish) Then, everyone gets their own perfect portion!
Would love to try this but only two in my family. Would if freeze or maybe cut receipe in half?
Yes it will freeze well.. you could half it if you are ok only using 1/2 pack of biscuits
Wouldn’t that just be one can as opposed to two? I was thinking the same thing about cutting it in half and thought it might be easy with this recipe because this calls for two separate cans. Just making sure I’m not misreading something!
The full recipe calls for 2 cans, if you make 1/2 then yes just use 1 can and 1/2 of remaining ingredients and a smaller dish to bake in
I’m in the UK and don’t have them biscuits what can I use instead
Hi, I’m not too sure what you do have over there, can you maybe try googling pillsbury biscuits so you can see what they look like and compare, it is a biscuit dough that comes in a tube, just pop in oven and they make tea biscuits
Does this reheat okay? Thinking of making ahead and popping in the microwave or would it get soggy? Thanks!
It does reheat well, microwave might make it a bit soft so maybe the oven or even an air fryer would be better
Just wondering if this is “eggy”?
Hi Amy, No not at all.. I am not a fan of eggs, I hate the yolks..so I would not like this if it was very “eggy” I think you will love it 🙂
Hi I am making this and am wondering if the eggs are in your nutritional info count it smells so good !!! Thanks for all your recipes!!!
Hi Tracy sorry for the late reply, yes all ingredients are incl in the nutritional info which is why I usually say not to enter those numbers into a WW calculator
