Ah, you’re talking about Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups! 😋 These are like the lovechild of cinnamon rolls and French toast—sweet, gooey, and perfect for breakfast or brunch. Here’s a simple way to make them:
Ingredients
- 1 can of cinnamon rolls (with icing included)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for extra cinnamon flavor)
- Butter or oil (for pan)
- Maple syrup or the icing from the cinnamon rolls for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the rolls:
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll.
- Using a rolling pin (or your hands), flatten each roll into a thin circle or rectangle.
- Make the egg mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Dip and cook:
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter it.
- Dip each flattened cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, making sure it’s coated well.
- Place it on the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Add the finishing touch:
- Roll them up if you like (some recipes roll them after cooking, some before—either works!).
- Drizzle with the included icing or maple syrup.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
💡 Tips & Tricks:
- For a “stuffed” version, you can add a little cream cheese or Nutella before rolling.
- Cooking on medium heat is key—too high and the outside burns before the inside cooks.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
If you want, I can give you a super easy 5-minute version using the same ingredients that’s basically dessert-level delicious.
