These French Toast Roll Ups are a fun twist on traditional French Toast. Fill them with your favorite spreads and make them different every time!

Breakfast at my house during the week usually consists of easy banana muffins and overnight oats, but the weekends are almost always reserved for something more special – not difficult, just something more exciting, like French Toast.

I have many iterations on French Toast, including French Toast Sticks, French Toast Casserole, and these French Toast Roll Ups. The innards are all gooey and the outside is slightly crunchy. Which basically makes them dessert. No wonder they’re so good! I love breakfast food. And I love FUN breakfast food even more!

Helpful Tips & Possible Variations

• Bread. Choose a soft white sandwich bread, which will make rolling them flat easy.
• Filling. Some great filling options are Nutella, Cookie butter, peanut butter, jam, or lemon curd.
• Topping. Or don’t fill them at all – just drizzle with maple syrup. You can also drizzle them with caramel sauce or chocolate sauce for a super indulgent treat!

These French Toast Roll Ups are a fun twist on traditional French Toast. Fill them with your favorite spreads and make them different every time!

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 8 slices soft white sandwich bread
• ▢ 3 tablespoons Nutella, (see more filling options below)
• ▢ 2 large eggs
• ▢ 3 tablespoons milk
• ▢ 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, , for greasing the pan
• ▢ maple syrup, , for serving (optional)

Instructions 

• Trim the crust from the bread.
  
• Flatten each slice of bread out with a rolling pin.
  
• Place a heaping teaspoon of your filling in the middle of the bread and spread it out in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around.
  
• Roll the bread up and repeat with the remaining slices.
  
• In a shallow bowl thoroughly whisk the eggs and milk together. In another shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
  
• Warm a griddle (or large sauté pan) over medium heat. Once hot, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
• Coat the rolls with the egg mixture and place seam side down on the griddle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add more butter to the griddle as needed for the second batch.
  
• Place the hot rolls into the cinnamon-sugar and roll until completely covered, gently shaking off any excess.
  
• Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

If you don’t like Nutella, these can easily be filled with peanut butter, cookie butter, jam, or lemon curd instead. Even finely chopped up apple pie filling is great.

Serving Suggestions

We love to dip these French toast roll ups into maple syrup, though you can cut them into pieces like traditional French toast and drizzle with maple syrup instead. But we definitely love eating these as finger food. You could also dust them with powdered sugar. For a more complete meal, they pair well with scrambled eggs, a side of breakfast sausage, and a simple fruit salad.
