Let's gather our key ingredients for these delicious Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Roll-Ups. Here's what you'll need: - 6 slices of bread (white or whole grain) - 3 large eggs - 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative) - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 tsp ground cinnamon - 1/2 cup sugar - 4 tablespoons butter - Optional fillings: Nutella or cream cheese - Optional toppings: Fresh berries Each ingredient plays a special role in making these roll-ups tasty. The bread is the base, providing a fluffy texture. Eggs and milk create a rich custard that soaks into the bread. Cinnamon and sugar give the roll-ups their sweet, warm flavor. Butter helps them brown and adds a nice crisp. Feel free to get creative with fillings. Nutella adds a chocolatey twist, while cream cheese gives a creamy touch. Fresh berries on top add a burst of color and flavor. You can find the full recipe for these roll-ups above. To start, take six slices of your chosen bread. I like to use white or whole grain. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice. Flattening makes them easy to roll. If you want, you can remove the crusts for a smoother bite. This step is optional but fun. Next, grab a shallow bowl. In it, combine three large eggs, a quarter cup of milk, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and one teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together until they blend well. This mixture makes the toast flavorful and rich. Now it’s time to assemble. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture. Make sure every part gets coated. Let the excess drip off. In a large skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place two to three roll-ups in the skillet. Cook them for two to three minutes on each side. You want them golden brown. Repeat this with the rest of the roll-ups, adding more butter as needed. While they’re still warm, roll each in a cinnamon sugar mix until fully coated. You can find the full recipe earlier for more details. Enjoy these warm with fresh berries if you like! To roll your French toast without breaking, start with thin slices of bread. A rolling pin helps flatten the bread evenly. Remove crusts for a smooth roll if you like. When you roll, start at one end and keep it tight. This helps the roll hold its shape. For a crispy exterior, use a hot skillet. Adding more butter adds flavor and crunch. Keep your skillet on medium heat. Too high, and the outside burns while the inside stays raw. Too low, and you’ll lose that golden color. To know when to flip, look for a golden brown color on the bottom. Gently lift the roll-up with a spatula. If it moves easily, it’s time to flip. For fun fillings, try peanut butter or jam. You can also add sliced bananas or apples for a fruity twist. To make it vegan, swap eggs with flax eggs and use non-dairy milk. For gluten-free options, choose gluten-free bread. These simple swaps keep your roll-ups tasty and fun.

This adds a rich, creamy taste that makes each bite special. After spreading the filling, roll the bread tightly. The filling melts and mixes beautifully with the cinnamon sugar. Want to jazz up your roll-ups? Think about adding different spices. You can mix in nutmeg or cardamom for a warm taste. A splash of almond extract gives a nice twist too. For a fruity hint, try adding orange or lemon zest. These small changes can make your roll-ups unique and exciting. While white and whole grain bread work well, you can try other types too. Brioche or challah adds a rich flavor and soft texture. Gluten-free bread is a great option if you need it. Each type of bread brings its own taste, so feel free to experiment. To keep your cinnamon sugar French toast roll-ups fresh, store them in the fridge. Place them in an airtight container. They will last for about three days. If you want to save them longer, freezing is an option. Wrap each roll-up tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. They can stay frozen for up to two months. When it's time to enjoy leftover roll-ups, reheating is key. You can use an oven for the best results. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet and cover them with foil. Heat for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them warm and crispy. You can also use a microwave for a quick fix. Place a roll-up on a plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Heat for 20-30 seconds. However, this may make them a bit softer. Enjoy your roll-ups warm, and they will taste just as good as when you first made them! To make Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Roll-Ups vegan, swap out the eggs and milk. Use a plant-based milk like almond or soy. Instead of eggs, use a flaxseed or chia seed mixture. Combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. This will help bind the roll-ups without eggs. You can also use vegan butter for frying. Yes, stale bread works well for this recipe. It absorbs the egg mixture better. Fresh bread can become too mushy. Stale bread gives a nice, chewy texture. Just make sure it’s not moldy. If the bread is very hard, you may want to soak it in the egg mixture a bit longer. To add more sweetness, consider extra toppings. Maple syrup is a classic choice. You can drizzle it over the roll-ups before serving. Whipped cream also adds a nice touch. For a fun twist, sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Fresh berries can add sweetness and color too.
