How to Make Pumpkin French Toast Roll-Ups
These cute breakfast bites come together in just a few easy steps:
1. Mix the Pumpkin Filling
In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, ⅓ cup sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar
In another shallow dish, combine the remaining ⅓ cup sugar with cinnamon.
3. Prep the Bread
Cut the crusts off each slice of white bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice completely — this helps them roll tightly without breaking.
4. Fill and Roll
Spread a layer of pumpkin filling over each slice. Roll up tightly from one end to the other.
5. Dip in Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each roll-up into the mixture, coating all sides.
6. Pan Fry
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 4–5 roll-ups at a time and cook, turning frequently, until all sides are golden and crisp.
7. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
While still warm, immediately roll each French toast roll-up in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
8. Serve!
Enjoy warm, with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
Make-Ahead Instructions
Unfortunately, these roll-ups don’t store well.
Because of the soft pumpkin filling, they can become soggy if prepped or reheated.
For best results:
Make and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
