Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll Ups

Introduction

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll Ups combine the warmth of cinnamon rolls with the comforting custard flavor and golden crispiness of classic French toast. These bite-sized roll ups feature a decadent cinnamon-sugar swirl inside soft bread, all dipped in a rich egg mixture and cooked to perfection. Perfect for brunch, breakfast treats, or dessert, these roll ups are a surefire hit with kids and adults alike thanks to their indulgent flavor and irresistible presentation.

Why This Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll Ups Recipe Stands Out

Each roll up delivers gooey cinnamon-sugar spirals wrapped in fluffy bread, coated in a creamy egg wash, and cooked until perfectly golden. The recipe is quick to assemble, fun to eat (no forks required), and easily customizable—serve them with glaze, syrup, or even fresh fruit for added flair. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or simply elevating your weekend breakfast, these roll ups offer all the nostalgia of cinnamon rolls with the simplicity of French toast.

Preparing the Cinnamon-Sugar Filling

Begin by creating a classic cinnamon-sugar mixture. This is what brings those familiar cinnamon roll flavors to the recipe. A quick spread of softened butter ensures the sugar and spice adhere perfectly to your bread.

If you want perfectly diced strawberries or apples to tuck in with the filling, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can save time and guarantee uniformity. Mix fruits right into the filling for an extra pop of freshness.

Assembling and Rolling Your French Toast Roll Ups

To get the smoothest rollout and maintain the integrity of your bread, gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin. After spreading your cinnamon-sugar filling, roll each slice tightly to avoid unrolling while cooking.

Place the seam side down first when frying to make sure they seal well and hold their shape. Use a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for even browning and easy cleanup.

Cooking Options: Skillet or Air Fryer

Traditionally, cinnamon roll French toast roll ups are cooked in a skillet with a touch of butter, but for a lighter option, use a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt for crispy outsides and tender insides.

To prevent sticking and ensure easy removal, simply line your air fryer basket or baking tray with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll.

Serving Suggestions for Maximum Enjoyment

Dust your roll ups with powdered sugar, drizzle with cream cheese glaze, or serve with warm maple syrup for classic cinnamon roll vibes. For brunch parties, arrange the roll ups in a neat container like the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl to keep them fresh and transportable.

Pair with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a hot coffee for a visually appealing and satisfying meal.

Nutritional Information and Serving Size

This recipe makes about 12 roll ups, with each containing around 120–150 calories (not including syrup or extra toppings). It’s a sweet treat best enjoyed as a special breakfast or brunch indulgence.

Instructions

1. Combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, and vanilla extract for the custard dip.
2. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread. Spread each slice with softened butter, sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar mixture, and add diced fruit if using.
3. Roll up each bread slice tightly. If preparing a large batch, keep roll ups covered to prevent drying out.
4. Heat a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Dip each roll up into the egg mixture and place seam-side down in the pan.
5. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. If using an air fryer, line the basket with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll and air fry at 370°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Remove and immediately dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with cream cheese glaze. For parties, keep roll ups fresh in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl.
