How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups

1. Prep the Cinnamon Rolls

Start by unrolling your cinnamon rolls and separating them into individual pieces. You’ll use each cinnamon roll as the filling for your French toast. With a rolling pin or your hands, gently flatten each slice of cinnamon roll dough, making it easier to roll up later.

2. Make the Egg Mixture

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. This is the batter that will coat the roll-ups and give them that delicious French toast texture.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

Place a flattened cinnamon roll in the center of each slice of bread. Roll up the bread around the cinnamon roll, securing it like a little “roll-up.” You can trim the edges of the bread if necessary to make it fit, or leave them for a more rustic look.

4. Cook the Roll-Ups

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Place the roll-up in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

While the roll-ups are cooking, mix together the sugar and a little extra cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Once the roll-ups are done, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to give them that sweet, sticky finish.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups warm, drizzled with maple syrup, or topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra indulgent treat.

Serving Suggestions

These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are delightful on their own, but you can dress them up with:

Whipped cream or whipped topping – A cloud of cream adds a decadent touch.
Fresh berries – Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries add a pop of color and freshness.
Nutella or chocolate syrup – For the ultimate indulgence.
A drizzle of caramel sauce – For an extra layer of sweetness.

Pro Tips & Variations

Use other breads: While white bread is a classic, try using brioche, challah, or cinnamon swirl bread for an even more decadent flavor.
Frozen cinnamon rolls: You can use frozen cinnamon rolls too, just make sure to thaw them out and roll them flat before wrapping them in the bread.
Add nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added crunch and flavor.
Make ahead: You can assemble the roll-ups the night before and store them in the fridge. In the morning, just dip and cook them, and you’ll have an easy, delicious breakfast.
