Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 slices of white or whole wheat bread, crusts removed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten the slices of bread, making them pliable.
- Fill the Roll-Ups: Brush each flattened slice with melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously on each slice. Roll the bread slices up tightly.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each cinnamon roll-up into the egg mixture, coating it evenly, and then cook in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a bit of cream cheese frosting drizzle on top after cooking!
- You can substitute regular bread with a thicker type, like challah or brioche, for a richer result.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Simply reheat in the oven or skillet.
- For a fun twist, add a chocolate chip filling or a smear of Nutella before rolling the bread.
