Description

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are a delicious twist on classic French toast, featuring soft white bread rolled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, dipped in a vanilla egg batter, and pan-fried until golden and crispy. Perfect as a sweet breakfast treat or dessert, they can be topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices soft white bread
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp softened butter (for spreading)

Egg Batter

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For Frying and Serving

  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare workstation: Gather all your ingredients and necessary tools, such as a rolling pin, two mixing bowls, and a skillet, to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Make cinnamon sugar mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar; this mixture will add the signature sweet and spicy flavor to the roll-ups.
  3. Prepare bread slices: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of soft white bread gently to make it easier to roll. Spread a thin layer of softened butter over one side of each flattened slice.
  4. Add cinnamon sugar and roll: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side of the bread slices. Then, tightly roll each slice into a cylinder shape, securing the filling inside.
  5. Mix egg batter: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. This mixture will coat the rolls and create a crispy exterior when fried.
  6. Fry the roll-ups: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each cinnamon roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are coated. Place them in the hot skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with optional maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream for extra sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Flattening the bread helps to create a smooth roll and prevents tearing.
  • Use softened butter for easy spreading on bread.
  • Ensure the skillet is properly heated before frying to avoid soggy roll-ups.
  • These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven for a short time.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the white bread with gluten-free bread.
