Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your preference)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional cinnamon and sugar for coating
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Start by flattening each slice of bread using a rolling pin to create a more pliable texture.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip each flattened slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- On one edge of the slice, place a small amount of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture (about 1 tablespoon) if desired, then roll the bread up tightly from that edge.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Place the rolled-up bread seam side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the skillet and sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar mixture while warm.
- Serve with maple syrup for dipping and enjoy your delightful roll-ups!
Tips for Success
- For a vegetarian option, you can replace milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk.
- Leftover roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days—just reheat in the microwave or toss in a pan to crisp up again!
- If you want to make them even more decadent, drizzle some cream cheese frosting on top.
