Introduction

French Toast Roll-Ups are a fun and delicious twist on traditional French toast. These bite-sized spirals filled with peanut chocolate spread make for an irresistible breakfast or snack that kids and adults will both love.

The image shows a white plate with four rolled pastries stacked in a pyramid shape; each roll has a light golden brown outer layer dusted with sugar and a rich, glossy dark chocolate spread visible inside the swirls. On each side of the plate, there are two bright red strawberries with green leaves adding color contrast. In the background, a small white bowl filled with more chocolate spread and a jar of peanut chocolate spread with a spoon inside can be seen, all placed on a table with a white marbled texture. Scattered peanuts are on the wooden surface in front of the plate, enhancing the natural and cozy feeling. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 jar of Bonne Maman Peanut Chocolate Spread
4 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
1 loaf of soft, sliced bread (about 16 slices)
⅓ cup butter for cooking French toast
Cinnamon sugar for rolling cooked French toast

Instructions

Step 1: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined to create the batter.
Step 2: Lay the sliced bread on a flat surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each slice thin and flat. Trim off the crusts with a knife to create uniform rectangles.
Step 3: Spread a generous layer of peanut chocolate spread over each flattened slice of bread.
Step 4: Carefully roll each slice into a tight spiral with the spread on the inside, using your hands to keep the roll snug.
Step 5: Preheat a pan over medium-low heat and melt about 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 6: Quickly dip each roll into the egg batter, turning to coat all sides evenly.
Step 7: Place the coated rolls in the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Step 8: Once cooked, roll each French toast spiral in cinnamon sugar to coat before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a nut-free variation, substitute the peanut chocolate spread with chocolate hazelnut spread or fruit jam.
Use a softer bread like brioche or challah for an extra tender and rich texture.
Serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to retain their softness and flavor.
