No Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls Recipe
No Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls are sweet rolls for breakfast. They look like cinnamon rolls, but they don’t have cinnamon. Instead, they’re filled with cream cheese and sugar, making them really yummy.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter melted = 3 tablespoons
- Granulated sugar = 3 tablespoons
- Brown sugar = 2 tablespoons
- Ground cinnamon = 1 tablespoon
- Large eggs = 2
- Milk = 1/4 cup
- Granulated sugar = 2 tablespoons
- Ground cinnamon = 2 teaspoons
- Soft white bread sliced, crusts cut off = 8 slices
- Butter for sauté pan = 3 tablespoons
- Maple syrup for serving = as needed
Instructions
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir in 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Whisk together 2 eggs and 1/4 cup milk in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set aside.
- Trim crusts from each slice of bread.
- Roll each slice to 1/8-inch thickness with a rolling pin.
- Spread the butter mixture on each slice and roll tightly.
- Repeat with the remaining bread and butter mixture.
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- If using a small pan, use 2 tablespoons butter and cook in batches.
- Dip each roll in the egg mixture and place in the pan.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup.
Notes
- Use Fresh Bread: Soft bread rolls up best. Hard bread can break.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Soft cream cheese spreads easily.
- Quick Dips: Dip the rolls quickly in the egg mix. Don’t soak them.
- Cook on Medium Heat: This keeps them golden brown, not burnt.
- Add Toppings: Try powdered sugar, syrup, or berries on top!
- Serve Hot: These rolls taste best when they’re warm.
