Introduction
If you’re obsessed with the magic combo of peanut butter and chocolate (same here!), these gooey French toast rolls are about to be your new go-to. They’re soft, golden, filled with warm peanut butter and Nutella, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and finished with a dreamy drizzle of melted peanut butter. Yes, they’re as good as they sound.
Origin and Cultural Significance
French toast has deep roots in global cuisine, dating back to ancient Rome. Known as “pain perdu” or “lost bread” in France, it was originally made to use up stale bread. Over the years, it evolved into a decadent breakfast treat. These Peanut Butter Cup French Toast Rolls offer a playful, indulgent spin, marrying classic French toast with the iconic American duo—peanut butter and chocolate—creating a dish that crosses breakfast and dessert.
Ingredients Quantity
8 slices soft sandwich bread (crusts removed)
4 tbsp peanut butter (plus extra for drizzling)
4 tbsp Nutella or chocolate spread
2 medium eggs
50 ml milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp butter (for pan)
Optional Additions
Sliced bananas or strawberries inside the rolls
Crushed peanuts for topping
A sprinkle of sea salt for contrast
Maple syrup or whipped cream for serving
Tips for Success
Use fresh, soft bread so it rolls easily without tearing.
Don’t overfill—just a thin layer of peanut butter and chocolate will do.
Seal the rolls by gently pressing the edges after rolling.
Cook on medium heat to ensure the filling melts and the outside gets golden.
Roll in cinnamon sugar while the rolls are still warm for best adherence.
Instructions
Flatten the slices of bread with a rolling pin.
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter and Nutella on each slice.
Tightly roll up each slice and press lightly to seal.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with milk.
Dip each roll briefly into the egg mixture.
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the rolls until golden brown on all sides, turning gently.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the cooked French toast rolls in the mixture while still warm.
Drizzle with melted peanut butter before serving.
