Sprinkle Party Cinnamon Roll Bake
February 25, 2026
A cinnamon roll breakfast bake with golden Oreos and rainbow sprinkles in every bite!
Sprinkle Party Cinnamon Roll Bake takes a simple can of cinnamon rolls and turns it into something way more fun. Instead of baking them in neat little spirals, they’re chopped up, soaked in a buttery vanilla mixture, and layered with Golden Oreos and rainbow sprinkles. It’s soft in the center, golden on top, and drizzled with warm icing. It’s the kind of breakfast bake that feels special enough for a birthday morning but still makes total sense for a slow weekend brunch.
Flavor Profile
This bake tastes like cinnamon roll meets birthday cake with cookies-and-cream flavor running through it. The cinnamon swirl brings warmth, the Golden Oreos add vanilla cookie crunch, and the sprinkles give little pops of sweetness throughout. The icing on top melts into the warm bake and creates a glossy, sweet finish that ties everything together.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Uses refrigerated cinnamon rolls, so it’s quick and low effort.
- Bakes in one pan for easy prep and cleanup.
- Soft, custardy center with golden edges for texture contrast.
- Golden Oreos add a bakery-style upgrade without complicated steps.
- Rainbow sprinkles make it perfect for birthdays, brunch, or fun weekend mornings.
- Easy to customize with different cookies or sprinkle blends.
The Twist
The twist is baking the cinnamon rolls like a French toast-style casserole instead of rolling and baking them traditionally. Cutting them up and soaking them in an eggy vanilla mixture transforms the texture completely. You get a soft, fluffy interior with crisp edges and pockets of cookie throughout, which makes it feel more like a celebration bake than a standard cinnamon roll tray.
Ingredient Highlights
- Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls: The shortcut base that keeps this recipe simple while still delivering that classic cinnamon flavor.
- Golden Oreos: Add a sweet vanilla cookie crunch that gives the bake a cookies-and-cream twist.
- Rainbow Jimmies: Use jimmies instead of nonpareils so the color holds and doesn’t bleed into the batter.
- Eggs: Create the custard base that makes this soft and fluffy instead of dry.
- Milk: Loosens the custard and helps coat every cinnamon roll piece evenly.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the bakery-style flavor and ties the cookies and cinnamon together.
- Icing Packet: Melted and drizzled on top for that glossy, sweet finish.
Sprinkle Party Cinnamon Roll Bake
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls, quartered
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup crushed Golden Oreos
- 3–4 tablespoons rainbow jimmies, divided
- Icing from the cinnamon roll can
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the quartered cinnamon rolls, crushed Golden Oreos, and 2 tablespoons of rainbow jimmies. Gently fold until every piece is coated in that buttery custard mixture.
- Pour everything into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle 1 more tablespoon of jimmies over the top for that colorful confetti finish.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until puffed, lightly golden, and set in the center.
- Warm the icing from the cinnamon roll can for a few seconds so it’s pourable. Drizzle generously over the warm bake, then immediately add a final shower of rainbow jimmies so they stick right into the glaze.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing.
FAQ
Can I make this the night before?
Yes. Assemble it, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking.
Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden?
You can, but it will shift the flavor more toward chocolate. Golden Oreos keep it lighter and more birthday-cake style.
How do I know when it’s done?
The center should be set and puffed, not liquidy. A knife inserted in the middle should come out mostly clean.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Use a 9×13-inch pan and add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
Can I freeze leftovers?
You can freeze slices individually and reheat in the microwave. The texture stays soft and fluffy.
Sprinkle of Fun
Make this for a weekend brunch, pour some pink lemonade or cold brew, and put on a feel-good baking show while everyone grabs a square straight from the pan. It feels like a tiny party at your kitchen table.
