Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. This mixture is what will coat the roll-ups, turning them into that classic French toast golden-brown exterior.


Step 4: Dip the Roll-Ups

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Take each cinnamon roll log and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are coated. Don’t let them soak too long, or they may become soggy.


Step 5: Cook to Golden Perfection

Place the dipped roll-ups in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy. Be gentle when flipping to maintain their shape.

Tip: Reduce the heat slightly if the outsides are browning too quickly before the center cooks.


Step 6: Add the Sweet Finishing Touch

Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle the included cinnamon roll icing over the top, or make your own glaze with powdered sugar and milk. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a classic French toast look.


Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Plate your Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups and serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a side of whipped cream. Each bite gives you the soft, gooey cinnamon center combined with a lightly crisped French toast exterior—a heavenly combination.


Pro Tips for Success

  1. Even Flattening: Make sure each cinnamon roll is evenly flattened to ensure even cooking.
  2. Control Heat: Medium heat works best; too hot and the outside burns before the inside is cooked.
  3. Serve Immediately: These roll-ups are best enjoyed warm and fresh for maximum gooeyness.
  4. Make-Ahead Option: You can assemble the roll-ups in advance and refrigerate them, then cook in the morning for a quick breakfast.
