These Strawberry and Nutella French Toast Rollups are a delightful twist on traditional French toast. I love how the warm, gooey Nutella pairs with the freshness of strawberries, all wrapped in soft bread that’s perfectly golden and coated in cinnamon sugar. They’re a quick and indulgent breakfast or even a fun dessert.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I find this recipe perfect for mornings when I want something special but easy to make. The rollups look fancy, but they’re incredibly simple and quick to put together.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• White sandwich bread, crusts removed

• Fresh strawberries, diced

• Nutella or hazelnut spread

• Eggs

• Milk

• Ground cinnamon

• Sugar

• Butter, for cooking

Directions

1. I start by flattening the slices of bread with a rolling pin.

2. I spread a thin layer of Nutella on each slice, then add a few diced strawberries.

3. I roll up the bread tightly and set them aside.

4. In a shallow bowl, I whisk together eggs, milk, and a little cinnamon.

5. I dip each rollup quickly in the egg mixture, making sure they’re coated but not soggy.

6. In a skillet, I melt some butter over medium heat and cook the rollups, turning them until all sides are golden brown.

7. Once cooked, I roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8–10 rollups, enough to serve 2–3 people. I usually spend 10 minutes preparing and 10 minutes cooking, so the whole recipe is ready in just 20 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes switch the filling by using bananas instead of strawberries for a richer flavor. Peanut butter can also replace Nutella for a nuttier taste. For a lighter version, I leave out the cinnamon-sugar coating and simply dust the rollups with powdered sugar.

storage/reheating

I keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When I want to reheat them, I pop them into the oven at 350°F for about 5–7 minutes or warm them in a skillet to keep the outside crisp. I avoid microwaving since it makes them soggy.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I prepare the rollups the night before, keep them in the fridge, and cook them in the morning.

What type of bread works best?

I find that soft white sandwich bread works best because it’s easy to roll without tearing.

Can I freeze French toast rollups?

Yes, I freeze them after cooking and let them cool. When I want to eat them, I reheat directly in the oven.

Do I have to use strawberries?

No, I can use raspberries, blueberries, bananas, or even peaches depending on the season.

How do I keep the rollups from unrolling?

I roll the bread tightly and place them seam-side down in the pan first. This helps them hold their shape.

Conclusion

These Strawberry and Nutella French Toast Rollups are one of my favorite treats to make when I want something indulgent without too much effort. I love how versatile they are, and they always bring a smile to the table whether I serve them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
