Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of white bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)

Instructions
- Prepare the Bread:
Trim the crusts off the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a thin sheet. - Make the Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly on each slice of bread. Roll each slice tightly into a log. - Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and granulated sugar. - Coat the Roll-Ups:
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. - Cook the Roll-Ups:
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the roll-ups and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. - Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Roll the cooked roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm. - Serve:
Plate your Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups and drizzle with maple syrup or icing. Enjoy this delightful breakfast treat!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use thicker bread slices or even cinnamon-raisin bread.
- Feel free to get creative with toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- If you prefer a lighter option, you can skip the cinnamon sugar coating, though it adds a delicious crunch.
