Hey cousins! I’ve been in the kitchen experimenting again, and I think I’ve stumbled upon something you’re all going to love. It’s a sweet little recipe that turns ordinary bread into something extraordinary. It’s not fancy or complicated – just simple, good food that speaks to the heart.

Picture this: soft, pillowy slices of bread, rolled up with a creamy and sweet filling, then given a quick dip in butter and a roll in cinnamon sugar. It’s like every bite is a little piece of comfort. This is the kind of treat that’s perfect for those moments when you need a little pick-me-up or when the kids are clamoring for something sweet.

I’m excited to share this recipe with you because it’s easy and fun, and I know you’ll have a good time making it. It’s the perfect way to add a little sweetness to your day without a lot of hassle. So, grab your aprons, and let’s get baking. I’m telling you, once you try these, they’re going to become a regular in your kitchen. Can’t wait to hear what you all think!

How to Make Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups

Ingredients

A half eaten roll up on top of a whole roll up resting on a plate with fresh berries.
  • Sandwich Bread (10 slices): This is the base of your recipe. It’s soft, versatile, and perfect for rolling.
  • Cream Cheese (4 oz., softened): Adds creamy richness and a slight tang to the filling. Ensure it’s softened for easy spreading.
  • Powdered Sugar (3 tablespoons): Sweetens the cream cheese filling, blending smoothly without the graininess of regular sugar.
  • Sugar (1/2 cup): This is for the outer coating, giving the rolls a sweet crust.
  • Cinnamon (1 1/2 teaspoons): Provides a warm, spicy note that pairs beautifully with the sugar.
  • Butter (1/2 cup, melted): Adds moisture and rich flavor. Dipping the rolls in butter helps the sugar-cinnamon mix stick.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. Trim off the crusts from the bread.
  3. Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  5. Prepare two shallow dishes. In one, combine the sugar and cinnamon. In the other, pour the melted butter.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture on each bread slice.
  7. Roll up the bread slices tightly.
  8. Dip each roll first in melted butter, then in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  9. Place the rolls on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes or until they turn lightly browned.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 10 slices of the softest sandwich bread you can find like a hug in bread form
  • 4 oz. of cream cheese softened (like your heart when you see puppies)
  • 3 Tbs. of powdered sugar because life needs a little sweetness
  • 1/2 cup of sugar yes, more sugar, darling!
  • 1 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon for that spicy kick
  • 1/2 cup of butter melted (because butter makes everything better)

Instructions

  • Fire up your oven to 350 F, like you’re heating up the dance floor.
  • Now, let’s give that bread a little trim. Slice off those crusts. (Save them for bread crumbs, honey, we don’t waste!)
  • Grab a rolling pin and flatten that bread like you’re smoothing out life’s problems.
  • In a bowl, whip together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until it’s smoother than your best pick-up line.
  • Lay out 2 shallow dishes like you’re setting the stage. In one, mix the sugar and cinnamon, creating a little sandy beach of sweetness. In the other, pour in that melted butter, liquid gold!
  • Spread each bread slice generously with the cream cheese mixture. We’re talking thick and luscious, baby!
  • Roll those slices up tight like a yoga mat.
  • Take each roll, give it a luxurious bath in the melted butter, then roll it in the sugar mix. It’s a double dip of heaven!
  • Place these little rolls of joy on a baking sheet. Don’t they look cute?
  • Bake them for 20 minutes until they turn lightly golden, like a summer tan.
  • Serve them up hot and watch them disappear faster than your ex when you ask for help moving.
