Prepare the Bread:
Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread.
Make the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to form a paste.
Fill and Roll the Bread:
Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on each slice of flattened bread. Roll up the bread tightly, pressing the seam to seal.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Coat the Rolls:
Dip each rolled-up piece of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Cook the Rolls:
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve:
Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls warm, drizzled with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar.
Variations
Cream Cheese Filling:
Add a layer of sweetened cream cheese to the bread before adding the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a richer, tangy flavor.
Nutty Delight:
Sprinkle finely chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, over the cinnamon-sugar mixture before rolling up the bread.
Fruit-Filled Rolls:
Add a layer of fruit preserves or fresh fruit slices, such as strawberries or apples, to the bread before rolling.
Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls:
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a chocolatey twist.
Substitutions
Gluten-Free Option:
Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
Dairy-Free Version:
Replace the butter with a dairy-free margarine and use almond milk or another plant-based milk.
Low-Sugar Version:
Substitute the granulated sugar with a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol.
Vegan French Toast Rolls:
Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) instead of eggs and a plant-based milk and butter alternative.
