Description

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll Ups Recipe are a quick and delicious breakfast treat with a crispy golden exterior and warm, gooey cinnamon-cream cheese filling. Perfect for beginner cooks, these roll-ups are easy to prepare and ideal for a cozy morning or special brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of soft white bread
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
  • Optional: maple syrup or extra powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

  1. Trim the crusts from the bread slices and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice.
  2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over each slice of bread, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Roll each slice tightly into a log and set aside.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to make the French toast batter.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the pan.
  7. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not soaked.
  8. Place the roll-ups seam side down onto the skillet and cook, turning until all sides are golden brown and crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and serve warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • If bread tears while rolling, it may be too dry—try using fresher bread next time.
  • Don’t soak roll-ups too long in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess.
  • You can substitute the filling with Nutella, fruit preserves, or peanut butter for variety.
  • These can be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F for 6-8 minutes for a crispier finish.
