Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create these magical roll-ups:
- 8 slices of soft white bread (like sandwich bread or Texas toast)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy works great!)
- 1 tablespoon butter, for frying
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
Note: Using fresh bread enhances the texture. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon mixture for a warm, cozy flavor!

Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get rolling (pun intended)! Here’s how to whip up these delicious Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups:
- Prep your bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread to about 1/4 inch thick. This creates the perfect canvas for rolling!
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If you love cinnamon, feel free to add a pinch more!
- Spread and roll: Spread a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly across each slice of flattened bread. Then, sprinkle a generous pinch of cinnamon all over the filling. Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. This is what will give your roll-ups that classic French toast texture!
- Dip and Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Dip each rolled-up bread in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s coated but not soaked. Place in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. You might want to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan!
- Finish with syrup: Once all your roll-ups are done, stack them on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and for an extra touch, dust with some powdered sugar if you fancy.
Pro Tip: Keep the heat on medium; too high will burn the outside while leaving the inside cold. If you find your roll-ups are browning too fast, simply lower the heat!

Pro Tips & Variations
If you’re feeling adventurous (or just in the mood to mix things up), here are some fun twists on this delicious dish!
- Fruit Fillings: Try adding thinly sliced bananas or strawberries into the cream cheese mixture for a fruity explosion!
- Nutty Crunch: Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch inside the roll.
- Chocolate Lovers: Swap out some of the cinnamon for cocoa powder, or even add mini chocolate chips to the filling.
- Dairy-Free Options: Use almond or oat milk and substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative!
Feel free to experiment with toppings too! Whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar will all elevate this dish to the next level.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is a showstopper for brunch gatherings or just a cozy Sunday morning at home. Serve these delightful roll-ups with a mug of steaming coffee or a warm cup of chai tea. If you’re feeling extra fancy, fresh berries on the side add a refreshing pop of color and flavor!
Add a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream on top for that café-style indulgence. It’s the kind of meal that begs to be shared and savored, creating those perfect little moments around the breakfast table.

Storage Tips
Leftover roll-ups? No problem! You can refrigerate these delightful treats in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Just pop them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to warm them up before indulging again.
If you want to keep them longer, they freeze quite nicely too! Wrap each roll-up in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
FAQs
Can I prepare these roll-ups the night before?
Absolutely! You can assemble the roll-ups ahead of time, place them in the fridge, and then cook them in the morning. Just be sure to dip them in the egg mixture right before cooking for the best texture!
Can I use different types of bread?
Yes! Feel free to experiment with different types of bread like brioche or whole grain for a unique spin. Just make sure whatever you use is soft enough to roll!
What’s the best way to serve them for a crowd?
Your best bet is to keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you finish cooking the others. Alternatively, set up a little topping bar with syrup, fruits, and whipped cream for a fun DIY breakfast experience!
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Definitely! Use gluten-free bread, and make sure your other ingredients (like powdered sugar) are certified gluten-free as well. It’s just as tasty!
