These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are a fun, indulgent breakfast treat that combines the gooey sweetness of cinnamon rolls with the golden, custardy goodness of French toast. Perfect for brunch, holidays, or a special morning surprise.
Ingredients
8 slices soft white sandwich bread
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 large eggs
¼ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Butter or oil, for cooking
Powdered sugar or icing, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the bread
Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice.
Make the cinnamon filling
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush each bread slice lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Roll up
Starting from one end, tightly roll each slice into a log.
Prepare the egg mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Dip the roll-ups
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides lightly.
Cook until golden
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Cook the roll-ups for 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown all over.
Serve
Remove from the skillet and serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with icing if desired.
✨ Tip: Serve with warm maple syrup or cream cheese glaze for an extra cinnamon-roll experience.
