Delightfully sweet and easy to make, Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups combine the classic flavors of cinnamon rolls and French toast in a convenient, bite-sized treat. Wrapped in flattened bread slices filled with a buttery cinnamon sugar mixture, these roll-ups are dipped in a vanilla-spiced egg batter and pan-fried to golden perfection. A perfect indulgent breakfast or brunch option ready in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 10 slices white sandwich bread
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the French Toast Coating:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Remove crusts from each bread slice and use a rolling pin to flatten them thoroughly to create an even surface for rolling.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon until well mixed.
  3. Fill the Bread: Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent filling from spilling out.
  4. Roll the Bread: Tightly roll up each bread slice from one end, sealing the edges by pressing gently to keep the filling contained during cooking.
  5. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
  7. Dip and Cook: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, then place seam-side down into the hot skillet.
  8. Fry the Roll-Ups: Cook each roll-up for 2-3 minutes total, turning frequently to brown all sides evenly until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Removing the crust and flattening the bread helps the roll-ups hold together and allows for easy rolling.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking and allow easy flipping.
  • If you prefer, serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit as toppings for extra flavor.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on skillet heat to avoid burning.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
