Can you make French Toast Roll-Ups ahead of time?

Absolutely! French Toast Roll-Ups are perfect for meal prep. Just cook them, let them cool, then store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze them, place them on a baking sheet until solid, then move to a freezer-safe bag. They reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer.

What’s the best bread to use for French Toast Roll-Ups?

Soft, white sandwich bread works best. It’s easy to roll without cracking and cooks evenly. However, you can also try brioche or whole wheat—just make sure the slices are soft and flexible. Stale or crusty bread tends to break when rolled.

Can I make them without eggs or dairy?

Yes! For an egg-free version , use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) or a vegan custard blend. Replace milk with oat, almond, or soy milk. They're still delicious and kid-approved!

Do French Toast Roll-Ups have to be sweet?

Not at all! While cinnamon-sugar and fruit are classic, you can go savory too. Try stuffing them with ham and cheese, scrambled eggs, or even leftover veggies. Just skip the sugar coating and go light on the spices.
