• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Ingredient Substitutions and Additions

How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. This creates the deliciously sweet and creamy filling for your rolls.

Step 2: Flatten and Fill the Bread

Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Spread a thin layer of the filling onto each slice, making sure to cover the surface evenly. Roll each slice tightly into a log shape.

Step 3: Make the French Toast Batter

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Dip and Fry

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, and place it in the skillet. Cook the rolls, turning frequently, until they’re golden brown on all sides.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the cooked rolls to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or top with whipped cream. Serve hot and enjoy the blissful combination of cinnamon and French toast!
