Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups 

These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups combine two beloved breakfast favorites: cinnamon rolls and French toast. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they are filled with warm cinnamon-sugar goodness, offering a bakery-style treat that’s quick and easy to make at home. These roll-ups are perfect for a cozy breakfast, brunch, or a fun treat for kids. You can even dip them in maple syrup or a cream cheese glaze for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

For the roll-ups:

• 12 slices white bread (soft sandwich bread, brioche, or challah)

• 3 tablespoons butter (softened, plus more for cooking)

For the cinnamon filling:

• ¼ cup light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the French toast coating:

• 2 eggs

• 3 tablespoons milk

For the cinnamon-sugar coating:

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional toppings:

• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

• Maple syrup (for drizzling)

• Cream cheese glaze (for dipping)

Directions

1. Flatten the bread: Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread to make it easier to roll up.

2. Make the cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread a thin layer of this mixture onto each flattened slice of bread.

3. Roll them up: Starting from one end, roll each slice tightly into a log. Place them seam-side down.

4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to make the French toast batter.

5. Cook the roll-ups: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt butter in the pan. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating it evenly but not soaking it. Cook the roll-ups in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, turning often, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Coat with cinnamon sugar: While the roll-ups are still warm, roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon to create the sweet coating.

7. Serve and enjoy: Dust the roll-ups with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip them in cream cheese glaze for extra flavor.
