easy french toast roll ups

these easy french toast roll ups are both kid & adult friendly, can be filled with whatever you want and make an easy weekday breakfast or on-the-go snack.

If you missed my IGTV video on this (or just didn’t have time to watch it all!) I wanted to put together a post for you breaking down the recipe because it’s one of my favorite easy breakfast and on-the-go snack options for Owen (I’ve also written out the full recipe below so feel free to use that instead!)

They’re so quick to make and they’re totally customizable. You can fill them with whatever you want (think: nutella and strawberries, almond butter and raspberries, peanut butter & jelly…the sky is truly the limit!)

All you have to do is:

Take a slice of whole wheat bread (day old or stale works best!) then the crusts off all the edge so you’re left with a square of bread, like this:

Then, you take a rolling pin and carefully roll it out as thinly as you can:

Next, you spread the entire slice of bread with a thin layer of peanut butter:

Followed by a layer of thinly sliced bananas along the outside edge:

Next, a sprinkling of cinnamon:

Now, just carefully roll it up (starting at the banana side!):

Then into the egg/milk/cinnamon mixture goes the roll-up!

Cook on a greased griddle or in a non-stick sauté pan for 1-2 minutes per side (rolling around so you get each side):

And that’s it! You’re done! Let your kids have at it 🙂

If you don’t want to take the time to make them into roll-ups, you can absolutely just take two slices of bread, spread each side with a little peanut butter, top with thinly sliced bananas, sandwich the two slices together and dip the whole sandwich in your french toast batter!

And if you do ever get the time, definitely check out the video – I try to give helpful tips/tricks/hints in all of them!

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• Splash of milk any kind works!
• 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon more or less as desired
• 6 slices of whole wheat bread stale or day old works best – we love Nature’s Own
• 4-6 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 medium banana peeled & thinly sliced
• Optional: Sprinkling of cinnamon
• Butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

• In a large, shallow bowl (or plate with high edges), combine eggs, splash of milk and cinnamon. Whisk together until fully combined.
• Cut the edges off the slices of bread then roll out each slice with a rolling pin.
• Fill each flattened slice of bread with peanut butter then place banana slices in a single later at the edge (you can also mash the banana).  Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
• Starting from the banana side, roll the bread up tightly then dip into the egg/milk/cinnamon mixture.
• Place a small amount of butter onto a preheated griddle or a pan that has been placed over medium heat. Spread butter all around to coat the surface then place roll-ups on. Cook roll-ups 1-2 minutes per side making sure you cook each side.
• Remove, let cool for a few minutes and serve!

Notes

These will keep up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

You can also freeze up to 2 months in an airtight container. When ready to serve, simple defrost in the microwave (or leave out in a ziploc bag on the counter overnight).
