Ingredients
To whip up these mouthwatering roll-ups, you’ll need:
- 8 slices of white or wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons of Nutella
- ¼ cup of milk
- 1 large egg (or 2 medium eggs)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- ¼ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- Maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Start by trimming the crusts off the bread slices. Then, using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice until they’re thin and pliable.
- Spread Nutella: Take each flattened bread slice and generously spread Nutella over one side, approximately 1/2 tablespoon per slice. Roll up the bread slices tightly, creating neat little rolls.
- Prepare the Coating: In a small shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. In another bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until evenly blended. Set both bowls aside.
- Saute the Roll-Ups: In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip each Nutella-filled roll-up into the milk and egg mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Place the roll-ups in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, turning them occasionally until they’re golden brown and slightly crisp on all sides.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: As soon as you remove the roll-ups from the pan, roll them through the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating each one thoroughly.
- Serve Warm: Plate up your Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups and serve them warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.

Serving Tips
- Garnish with Fresh Fruit: Add a pop of color and freshness to your Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups by serving them with a side of fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. The tartness of the fruit complements the sweetness of the roll-ups perfectly.
- Dusting of Powdered Sugar: Before serving, dust the roll-ups with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch. Not only does it add a hint of sweetness, but it also enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
- Pair with Whipped Cream: For an extra decadent treat, serve your roll-ups with a dollop of whipped cream on top. The light, airy texture of the cream balances the richness of the Nutella, creating a luxurious eating experience.
- Serve with a Hot Beverage: Enjoy your Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups alongside a steaming cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate for the ultimate breakfast or snack indulgence. The warmth of the beverage complements the comforting flavors of the roll-ups, making it a delightful pairing.
Storage Tips
- Refrigeration: If you have any leftover Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat them in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
- Freezing: To freeze the roll-ups for longer storage, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring to remove any excess air to prevent freezer burn. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through.
- Individual Wrapping: For convenient grab-and-go options, consider individually wrapping the roll-ups in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before refrigerating or freezing. This allows you to thaw and reheat only the amount you need, minimizing waste and ensuring freshness.
By following these serving and storage tips, you can enjoy Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups anytime, whether it’s for a leisurely breakfast at home or a quick snack on the run.
