If you’ve been around here for a bit, you might remember me talking about those Overnight Stuffed French Toast Roll-Ups and the French Toast Raspberry Roll-Ups we all love. Well, I’ve got another treat that’s been making our mornings extra special: Nutella French Toast Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar.

I’m all about making breakfast fun and delicious, especially with my little helpers in the kitchen. My kids and I, we LOVE starting our day with something sweet and satisfying. And let me tell you, this recipe? It’s a WINNER.

What You’ll Need:

Alright, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what I use to whip up these super yummy Nutella French Toast Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar. I’m all about keeping it real and sharing my go-to products that make a difference in how these treats turn out.

So, here’s what I’ll be using to make these mouthwatering rolls:

• Sara Lee Honey Wheat Sandwich Bread: This bread is my go-to for this recipe. Its slight sweetness and soft texture make it perfect for rolling up with Nutella. And hey, you can easily grab a loaf from Amazon. I love how convenient that is!
• Nutella: Because, let’s be real, Nutella makes everything better. It’s the heart of this recipe, adding that rich, chocolatey, hazelnut flavor that we all can’t get enough of.
• Egg & Milk: These two create the perfect wash for our rolls, giving them a golden, slightly crispy exterior that’s just divine.
• Cinnamon Sugar: I mix my own because it’s super easy, and I get to control the sweetness and the cinnamon kick. Just grab your favorite sugar and some ground cinnamon from the pantry, and mix it up.
• Butter: Any brand will do, but I always reach for unsalted so I can control the saltiness.

How to Make Nutella French Toast Rolls:

Alright, let’s get into making these Nutella French Toast Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar. I’ve got my ingredients laid out, and the KIDS are peeking over the counter, super eager to HELP. So, here we go!

First things first, I grab a loaf of Sara Lee Honey Wheat Sandwich Bread. The kids are already unwrapping the Nutella, excited to spread it on the bread. I take the crusts off the bread slices. Then, I flatten each slice with my FAVORITE rolling pin , which makes the job so much easier. It’s kind of therapeutic, really, pressing down and rolling out the bread until it’s nice and thin.

If you’re curious about the rolling pin I use, you can check it on Amazon! It’s been a GAME-CHANGER in my kitchen.

Now, the fun part—spreading the Nutella. I give each slice a good teaspoon of Nutella, spreading it out but leaving a little edge so it doesn’t ooze out when we roll them up. The kids take turns with the spreading, and yes, there’s a bit of Nutella tasting happening.🤣🤣 Can’t blame them; it’s too tempting!

Once all the slices are spread with Nutella, we start rolling them up tight. I show the kids how to do the first one, adding a tiny dab of Nutella to seal the edge. They catch on quickly, and soon we have a little assembly line going.

Next up, I whisk together the egg and milk in one bowl and mix the sugar and cinnamon in another. These rolls are going to be dipped and then fried to perfection. I heat up a skillet and melt a good knob of butter. While it’s getting nice and hot, I dip each roll into the egg mixture, making sure it’s well coated but not soggy.

And when it’s time to fry these rolls, I use the BEST skillet out there, the same one Gordon Ramsay uses. Seriously, I love this skillet; it heats evenly and gives the rolls that perfect golden brown every time. If you’re in the market for a top-notch skillet, you can check it out on Amazon. I’ll even include a photo of it so you can see why it’s my go-to for not just these rolls, but pretty much everything I cook.

Once they’re all fried and looking gorgeous, I roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. This part is like the cherry on top. The rolls get this beautiful sugary crust that’s just to die for.

And that’s it! We’ve got a plate full of warm, sugary, chocolatey Nutella French Toast Rolls ready to devour. The kids are already grabbing forks, and I can’t help but join in.
