Description
These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are a fun and delicious twist on your classic breakfast favorites! Fluffy cinnamon rolls are transformed into sweet, crispy French toast roll-ups, coated in a warm cinnamon-sugar blend, and drizzled with creamy icing.
Ingredients
- 1 can of cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Unroll the cinnamon rolls and flatten each piece with a rolling pin.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Roll each cinnamon roll piece back into a tight roll.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Dip each roll into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, and cook in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon rolls and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use any type of cinnamon rolls, but the classic ones with icing work best for this recipe.
- For a fun twist, you can add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the cinnamon rolls before rolling them up.
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the whole milk with almond milk or any milk alternative.
- Make sure to cook the roll-ups on medium heat to ensure the insides get fully cooked without burning the outside.
- These are best served fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the microwave.
