I recently discovered the amazing world of Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups, and let me tell you, they are simply irresistible! Imagine fluffy bread filled with sweet cinnamon goodness that you can eat with your hands. It’s a fun, hands-on way to enjoy breakfast and show your loved ones you care.

Nutritional Benefits
You might not think of a sweet breakfast treat as healthy, but there are actually some benefits to this one! Using whole wheat bread instead of white can add extra fiber to your roll-ups, which is great for digestion. Plus, if you sneak in some fruit, like banana slices or berries, you’ll get a boost of vitamins! Just remember, moderation is key in any delicious treat.
Adaptable Variations to Make
- Fruit-Filled Delight: Add slices of fresh fruit like bananas or strawberries inside for a fruity surprise!
- Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk instead of regular milk and a plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
- Gluten-Free Easy Swap: Swap out regular bread for gluten-free bread, and you can enjoy these amazing roll-ups too!
Decadent Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Start by removing the crusts from the bread slices. Don’t worry, we won’t be wasteful; you can save them for bread crumbs!
- With a rolling pin (or a flat-bottomed cup), gently flatten each slice of bread to make it pliable.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together. Spread 1 tablespoon of this mixture onto each slice of bread.
- Roll each slice tightly, starting from one end, to make mini roll-ups.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter to coat the bottom.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure it’s well-coated, and place them seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove them from the skillet, drizzle with maple syrup, and dig in!
Practical & Valuable Tips
- For a little extra flavor, add a dash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture!
- These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. Just reheat them on a skillet.
- If you’re making these for a crowd, consider keeping them warm in the oven on a low heat while you finish cooking the rest!

To whip up these delicious roll-ups, here’s a handy list of what you’ll need:
- A rolling pin (or the bottom of a cup if you don’t have one)
- A mixing bowl for the egg and milk mixture

- A spatula for flipping
- Measuring cups and spoons
Frequently Asked Questions
