Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Bread: Use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and flavor.
• Cinnamon Sugar: A mix of sugar and cinnamon creates that irresistible filling; adjust ratios based on your taste.
• Eggs: Fresh eggs help bind everything together and add richness; use large eggs for consistency.
• Milk: Whole milk adds creaminess; however, feel free to substitute with almond or oat milk if desired.
• Butter: A generous amount of butter ensures those crispy edges; don’t skimp here!
• Maple Syrup: Drizzle over the top when serving; it adds an extra layer of sweetness that pairs wonderfully.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Start by preparing your workspace and gathering all necessary tools like a rolling pin and non-stick frying pan.

Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts off each slice of bread carefully so they can easily be rolled up without cracking. Set aside your trimmed crusts—you can make breadcrumbs later!

Create the Filling: In a bowl, mix together sugar and plenty of ground cinnamon until well combined. This mixture will create that cozy filling we all love.

Roll it Up!: Take one slice of bread and flatten it gently using your rolling pin until it’s pliable but not too thin. Spread about one tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the slice.

Roll and Dip: Starting from one end, carefully roll up the slice tightly; set aside. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until frothy—this makes your dip super creamy!

Cook Them Up!: Heat butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until melted. Dip each rolled-up piece into the egg mixture before placing it in the pan—cook until golden brown on all sides.

Add Toppings and Serve!: Once done cooking, drizzle with maple syrup while still warm. Serve immediately so everyone gets their share of gooey goodness!

Get ready to take your breakfast game to new heights with these flavorful Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups! They not only deliver on taste but also bring smiles all around—perfect for sharing moments together at the table!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To create these roll-ups, start by flattening the bread, then spread the filling before rolling them up tightly. Cook on medium heat until golden brown for a crispy exterior and soft inside.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap the cream cheese filling for Nutella or almond butter. You can also add chopped nuts or fresh fruits for extra flavor and texture.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a toaster oven to restore crispiness without compromising quality.

Creating these Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups became a family favorite after my sister declared them “the best breakfast ever” during our last brunch together.
