Ingredients Notes
Here’s a rundown of what you’ll need: soft white or whole wheat bread, Nutella, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and butter.
- Bread: Choose soft bread for easy rolling. Whole wheat can add a bit more texture if you prefer.
- Nutella: The star ingredient, providing rich hazelnut chocolate flavor. Any chocolate spread works too.
- Eggs and Milk: Essential for the French toast coating, opt for whole milk for a richer flavor.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a nuanced sweetness—pure vanilla extract is preferable.
- Cinnamon: Mix with sugar for a classic French toast flavor.
- Butter: Ensures a golden-brown finish. Consider using unsalted for better control of flavor.
Recipe Steps

Step 3
Carefully roll each slice tightly. Ensure the seams are on the underside to hold them together during cooking.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip each roll into the mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Step 5
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook rollups until all sides are golden brown, approximately 8–10 minutes. Dust with cinnamon-sugar mixture before serving.
Storage Options
To store any leftovers, wrap the cooled rollups in plastic wrap and keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For a longer shelf life, freeze them individually on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster oven or on a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
Variations & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, fill the rollups with almond or cashew butter. Add sliced bananas or strawberries for a fruity addition. If you’re catering to a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free bread. Experiment with filling flavors like jam or cream cheese for a different taste experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare Nutella French Toast Rollups in advance? Yes, you can prepare them the night before. Simply place uncooked rollups in a tightly sealed container and store in the fridge. Cook them fresh in the morning for best results.
What can I substitute for Nutella? You can use any chocolate or nut butter spread as an alternative. Almond butter or peanut butter offer delicious alternatives, particularly if paired with a touch of honey for added flavor.
How can I prevent the rollups from unraveling during cooking? Ensure that the bread slices are rolled tightly and placed seam-side down in the pan. If necessary, use a toothpick to secure them during cooking, but remember to remove it before serving.
