Ingredients

You will need:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for frying)

  • Maple syrup (for serving)

How to Make Swirled Cinnamon French Toast Roll-Ups

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

  • Trim the crusts off each slice of bread.
  • Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice so it’s thin and easy to roll.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Filling

  • Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Spread a thin layer on each slice of bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Roll each slice tightly into a log and press gently to seal.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Cook the Roll-Ups

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter.
  • Quickly dip each roll into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
  • Place seam-side down in the skillet.
  • Cook, turning every 30–40 seconds, until golden on all sides (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 5: Serve

  • Transfer to a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.

Cooking Tips

  • Don’t soak the bread rolls too long in the egg mixture or they may fall apart.
