Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices soft white bread (crusts removed)
- 8 mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate syrup
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Rolls: Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin to create a thin, even surface. Place one mini peanut butter cup near the bottom edge of each slice, then roll the bread tightly around it, pressing the edges to seal and prevent filling leakage.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined to create a flavorful coating for the rolls.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate small bowl, mix granulated sugar with a pinch of cinnamon to create the aromatic coating for the final step.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling, preparing the pan for frying the rolls.
- Cook the Rolls: Dip each bread roll into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated. Place each roll seam-side down in the skillet to seal the seam and cook evenly. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, roll the cooked French toast rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture to add sweetness and texture.
- Serve: Plate the French toast rolls immediately and top as desired with powdered sugar, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Use room temperature peanut butter cups for easier rolling and even melting inside the bread.
- These French toast rolls are best served warm to enjoy the gooey melted chocolate and peanut butter center.
- For an extra crispy exterior, you can add a little more butter while frying.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate or nut butters for variety.
