Looking for some breakfast inspiration? These Strawberry French Toast Roll Ups are EPIC!

Looking for some breakfast inspiration? Trying to get your kids out of a bowl of cereal rut and out the door?
Mornings can be a busy time of the day. As moms, we want to send our kids into the day with bellies full of good food to power their bodies and brains through the morning, but breakfast can often be an obstacle to getting out the door. These french toast roll ups can be prepped ahead of time, and frozen. When you are ready to use, pull out the roll ups, dip them in egg wash and cook in a skillet. Finish them off with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and you’ll have a warm breakfast to go that your kids will love!

This is yummy! My daughter ate at least 25% of it. But I ate the 75% of the rest. Simple to make as well
MOMables-Laura
I’m glad you both enjoyed it!
Bryanna
I made these and there delicious I have some left over but I don’t want to put them in the fridge can I freeze them after there all cooked ?
MOMables-Laura
Hi Bryanna, you can feeze these! Once cooked, allow the roll-ups to cool down to room temperature before wrapping them with plastic wrap. Place the rolls in a freezer bag and freeze for 1 to 2 months.

Can I make these with something besides brushing them with an egg wash? My daughter has an egg allergy…. she can egg baked egg (egg cooked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or longer…. but can’t eat anything with egg that’s only been cooked on the stove top). I’d love to make these but not sure what/ how to substitute.

Megan, check out this post on how to make egg-less french toast. You can make the starch+milk mixture and soak up the roll-ups.

So easy! My 5 year old also made them and they were extremely delicious!
Kate
Have you tried any other kind of spread instead of cream cheese? Nut or sunflower seeds butter maybe? (With a hint of chocolate?)
MOMables
you can fill these with nut butters, chocolate spread…
Karen
Could these be dipped in the egg ,cooked and frozen?
MOMables
I don’t see why you an’t freeze them once cooked. All you’d have to do is take them out to thaw and heat up. Enjoy!
Karen
Just made a batch of these for tomorrow’s breakfast. I tasted one and they are really good . now we’ll see what my 3.5 and 16 month old think! Thanks for sharing!
Courtney
Success! Two out of three children loved these. Thank you for all of your great recipes! They definitely help me to get out of the same old rut.

Have you tried these with any kind of gluten free bread? I tried some the otherdayand the bread literally crumbled. My daughter has been asking for these (I was sending these in her lunchbox before weren’t gluten free)…but we just went gluten free for the whole house to cut down on cross contamination for the 3 celiacs in our family, so I was just wondering if you’ve had success with any gf bread. If so, what kind did you use? Thanks.
MOMables
I have. They work with Canyon Bakery breads well. Udi’s and Rudi’s are too “stiff” to roll.
Jocelyn Pethtel
Thank you…I’ll make sure I add a trip to target in my near future for canyon bakery bread. ;). Thanks

What is on the other side in the box? yogurt?
MOMables
Yes, plain yogurt.
Marci
Do I need to let them defrost at all when I pull them out? Or just dip them frozen?
MOMables
Defrost first, then dip.
