Ingredients
- 8 slices of white bread (crusts removed)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until combined. Set aside.
- Flatten the Bread:
Using a rolling pin, gently roll each slice of bread to flatten it. This helps the bread roll up easily and absorb more cinnamon sugar.
- Add the Cinnamon Filling:
Brush each slice of flattened bread with melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over each slice, pressing gently to help it stick.
- Roll Up the Bread:
Starting from one edge, roll up each slice of bread tightly into a pinwheel shape.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
- Dip the Roll-Ups:
Carefully dip each cinnamon roll-up into the egg mixture, coating it completely on all sides.
- Cook the Roll-Ups:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Place the dipped roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to turn them gently to avoid unrolling.
- Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy!
