Description
These pumpkin French toast roll-ups are a cozy fall-inspired breakfast with creamy pumpkin filling, golden pan-fried bread, and a sweet cinnamon sugar coating. They taste like pumpkin pie and French toast combined into a handheld treat.
Ingredients
2/3 cup canned plain pumpkin
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
12 slices white sandwich bread
2 eggs
4 tablespoons milk
Butter, for coating skillet
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine the remaining 1/3 cup sugar with cinnamon for rolling. Set aside.
- Trim crusts from bread slices and flatten each with a rolling pin.
- Spread a thin layer of pumpkin mixture over each slice and roll up tightly.
- In another shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk together.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter to coat the bottom.
- Dip roll-ups in egg mixture and cook in batches of 4–5, turning until all sides are golden brown.
- Immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Add cream cheese to the filling for extra richness.
Try brioche or challah bread for a softer texture.
Drizzle with caramel or dust with powdered sugar for a festive finish.
Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes (flipping halfway) instead of pan-frying for a lighter version.
Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle for serving.
