Nutella French Toast Roll Ups

What are French Toast Roll Ups?

French toast roll ups are fun, bite-sized twists on classic French toast. Each slice of bread is flattened, filled, rolled, dipped in egg custard, and then cooked until golden. The result? Crispy outside, gooey inside, and perfect for dipping in syrup!

They’re a family-favorite weekend breakfast or holiday brunch recipe. The best part is they only need a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients and Supplies Needed

Ingredients:

• Slices of bread (slightly stale works best)
• Large eggs
• Milk
• Granulated sugar
• Ground cinnamon
• Nutella (or filling of choice)

Supplies:

• Cutting board
• Small bowls
• Whisk
• Rolling pin or glass cup
• Parchment paper liners
• Air fryer or oven

The Secret to the Best French Toast

The #1 trick is to use slightly stale bread. Fresh bread turns soggy fast, but stale bread soaks up the custard without falling apart. Leave slices out overnight, or pop them in the air fryer for 2 minutes at 350°F to dry them out.

Other Filling Ideas

Not into Nutella? Try these:

• Strawberry or raspberry jam
• Cream cheese with fresh berries
• Biscoff spread or peanut butter
• Apple pie filling with cinnamon
• Banana slices with chocolate chips

How to Make Air Fryer French Toast Roll Ups

1. Trim crusts off bread and roll slices flat.
2. Spread filling, then roll tightly and seal edges.
3. Dip rolls in egg-milk mixture, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
4. Place seam side down in air fryer lined with parchment.
5. Cook at 360°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.

How to Bake French Toast Roll Ups in the Oven

No air fryer? No problem! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place prepared rolls seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm.

Topping & Garnish Ideas

• Powdered sugar
• Maple syrup
• Whipped cream
• Fresh fruit
• Chocolate or caramel drizzle

Equipment

• Air Fryer
• Small bowls
• Parchment Paper
• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 10 slices bread
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 4 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ cup Nutella about 1 teaspoon per slice of bread

Instructions

• Dry out the bread. Leave the bread out overnight so that it can get stale. This will make it cook better in the air fryer and will take so much better too! If you aren’t on top of things like myself, you can leave the bread out for at least 30 minutes. You can also try drying out the bread in the air fryer by placing the bread in the air fryer for 2 minutes at 350 °F.
• Prepare your set up. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl or dish. Set aside. In a separate shallow dish, mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Set aside. Line the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil.
• Assemble the roll ups. Cut off the crust on the slices of bread. Flatten the bread slices with a glass or rolling pin.
• Spread a teaspoon or so of Nutella on one end of the bread. Roll the bread in a log and dab a little Nutella on the ends to help keep the rolls secure during baking.
• Dip the bread rolls in the egg and milk mixture then in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Make sure to cover the rolls completely.
• Cook in the air fryer. Place the french toast rolls in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-6 minutes at 360 °F, flipping halfway through. Enjoy while still warm.
