Pam cooking spray

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with Pam cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2
Open the cans of Pillsbury Grands refrigerated cinnamon rolls. Separate the rolls and cut each one into 8 individual pieces. Arrange the cut pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Egg Beaters egg substitute, fat-free evaporated milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, making sure each piece is soaked in the custard.
5
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of the casserole, adding a delightful crunch.
6
Drizzle the maple syrup over the entire dish for a sweet finishing touch.
7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
8
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
9
While it cools, prepare the icing by microwaving it for 10 to 15 seconds until warm. Drizzle the icing over the partially cooled casserole.
10
Serve warm and enjoy with additional maple syrup if desired, although most find it perfectly sweet as is.
