Ingredients
  

For the Rolls
  • 8 slices White Sandwich Bread Fresh, soft bread is essential for easy rolling.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) Adds moisture and flavor; coconut oil works as a dairy-free substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and a rich, caramel-like taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon The star of the show; adjust for an extra spice kick.
For the French Toast Batter
  • 4 large Eggs Binds everything together; substitute with ground flaxseed for vegan.
  • 1 cup Milk Creamy goodness; almond or oat milk are great non-dairy alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the flavor; almond extract can add an interesting twist.
For Frying
  • 1 tablespoon Butter for Frying Guarantees a crisp, golden finish.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Bread - Remove the crusts from each slice of bread and flatten with a rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Filling - Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl until smooth. Spread evenly over each slice, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  3. Step 3: Roll and Seal - Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other, pinching edges to seal.
  4. Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture - Whisk together eggs, milk, remaining cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl.
  5. Step 5: Heat the Skillet - Preheat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.
  6. Step 6: Dip the Roll-Ups - Gently dip each roll into the egg mixture, coating all sides. Place seam-side down in the skillet.
  7. Step 7: Cook to Perfection - Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Step 8: Serve Warm - Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with syrup or dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy warm.
