Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups take the classic favorite breakfast dish and transform it into a fun, bite-sized treat. Instead of traditional French toast slices, soft white sandwich bread is flattened, filled, rolled, dipped in egg and milk, fried until golden, and coated in a fragrant cinnamon-sugar mixture. These delightful roll ups are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with sweet cinnamon flavor — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy weekend morning treat.
What Makes Them Special
Unlike classic French toast, these roll ups are individual portions that are easy to hold and eat — almost like a breakfast finger food. They elevate ordinary ingredients into something playful and delicious, making them ideal for kids and adults alike. The cinnamon-sugar coating gives a warm, sweet finish that pairs beautifully with maple syrup or your favorite filling.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups, you’ll need:
- Soft white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- Eggs and milk (for the batter)
- Granulated sugar and ground cinnamon (for coating)
- A sweet filling such as Nutella, jam, or cookie butter
- Butter for cooking
- Optional: maple syrup for serving
How to Make Them (Quick Overview)
- Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
- Add the filling: Spread a spoonful of your chosen filling near one end of each slice.
- Roll up: Tightly roll the bread around the filling.
- Dip and cook: Whisk the eggs and milk together and dip each roll so it’s coated. Cook on a warm skillet with butter until golden brown on all sides.
- Cinnamon-sugar coating: Immediately roll the warm pieces in the cinnamon-sugar mixture so they’re fully coated.
- Serve: Enjoy warm on their own or with maple syrup on the side.
Serving Ideas
These Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups are delicious on their own, but they’re even better when served with warm maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar. They’re perfect for a holiday breakfast, a special weekend brunch, or anytime you want a comforting and sweet start to your day.
