Instant Pot French Toast Casserole

This Instant Pot Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole is a delicious breakfast or brunch for any time of year.

This Instant Pot breakfast recipe is perfect for a college dorm room or if you don’t want to take up space in your oven.

Instant Pot French Toast

You can make a french toast casserole in the Instant Pot?! You bet your bippy you can! We are so excited about this Instant Pot French Toast Casserole. It has all of the characteristics of french toast with the delicious gooey texture and flavor of a cinnamon roll.

One thing I know for sure is that if I were a college student living in a dorm room this year, I’d FOR SURE buy an Instant Pot. No oven? No problem.

You can make this Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole in the comfort of your dorm room. Brunch is served, people. Check out how we did it below!

Step 1: Bread + What Bowl to Use

The bread: First things first–> you can use whatever type of bread you would like to use for this recipe.

However, we recommend using sourdough bread. We love the chewiness of sourdough and really love the texture it takes in a breakfast bake.

If any of you have any Instant Pot accessories, now is the time to get out your Instant Pot cake pan. If you don’t have a cake pan, use a 7.5-8 inch glass bowl that is oven safe!

We used the 7.5-inch bowl from our favorite Crate and Barrel set. Grease your pan and place the metal trivet at the bottom of the Instant Pot as well as 1 cup of water.

Step 2: Mix Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole

You want to grease your bowl and then place bread and walnuts into the bowl. Set aside while you make my favorite part of this recipe–> the ALMOND BUTTER CINNAMON DRIZZLE.

Mix all the ingredients for the drizzle into a bowl and drizzle it over the bread. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the french toast ingredients into a bowl.

Whisk together and pour egg mixture over the bread. Use a spatula to make sure everything is coated with egg mixture.
