If you've ever dreamed of having dessert for breakfast — and I mean full-on, melt-in-your-mouth decadence — Peanut Butter Cup French Toast Rolls are about to be your new favorite guilty pleasure.

Golden and crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, these sweet rolls combine everything you love about peanut butter cups and classic French toast — wrapped up in one handheld bite of heaven. They were born on a lazy Saturday morning when I felt like experimenting, and the reaction from the breakfast table? Unreal. The kind of recipe that makes people stop mid-bite and say, “Why haven’t we had this before?!”

🍫 What Exactly Are Peanut Butter Cup French Toast Rolls?

They’re not just another French toast hack. These rolls are made by flattening sandwich bread, smearing it with peanut butter, wrapping it around a mini peanut butter cup, and pan-frying them to crispy, golden perfection. Each roll is then tossed in cinnamon sugar for that classic churro-like finish.

Imagine:
Churros ✖️ French toast ✖️ Reese’s cups = A breakfast-dessert masterpiece.

Serve them for brunch, dessert, or even a special afternoon snack — they’re guaranteed to steal the show.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

🥖 Step 1: Prep the Bread

Start by removing the crusts from each slice of sandwich bread. This helps the bread roll more smoothly and gives your rolls a clean, uniform look.
Then, using a rolling pin (or a clean glass), gently flatten each slice until it’s thin and flexible. You want the bread pliable but not tearing—about ⅛-inch thick is perfect.

Tip: If your bread tears easily, it's too dry. A slightly soft, fresh loaf works best.

---

🥜 Step 2: Add the Filling & Roll

Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter over the entire surface of each flattened slice. Don’t overdo it—too much filling can cause the roll to burst open while frying.

Next, place one mini peanut butter cup (or a small spoonful of chopped peanut butter cup) at one end of the bread.
Then, roll the bread tightly into a log, pressing gently to seal the edge. Repeat with all slices.

Variation idea: Add a banana slice or chocolate chips for extra flavor.

---

🥚 Step 3: Prepare the Egg Wash

In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk until fully combined. This egg mixture will coat the rolls and help them get that rich, golden French toast exterior.

---

🌰 Step 4: Mix the Cinnamon Sugar

In a second bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This will be the final coating that adds a churro-like finish to each roll.

Pro move: Add a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-salty contrast.

---

🍳 Step 5: Dip & Fry the Rolls

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a pat of butter to coat the pan.

Quickly dip each roll into the egg wash, making sure all sides are covered, but don’t let them soak too long—just a light coating is enough to crisp up during frying.

Place each roll seam-side down in the hot pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently until all sides are golden brown and evenly cooked.

Tip: Cook in batches and don’t overcrowd the pan. Add more butter as needed.

---

🍩 Step 6: Cinnamon Sugar Finish

As soon as the rolls come off the heat and are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly on all sides. This step gives them that caramelized crunch that’s impossible to resist.

Want to level it up? Drizzle with warm caramel, chocolate sauce, or melted peanut butter for a truly over-the-top finish.

😍 What They Taste Like

Warm, sweet, buttery, and blissfully melty. The cinnamon sugar exterior is crisp and caramelized, while the inside is soft, creamy, and chocolatey. It’s like biting into a churro with a peanut butter cup center — pure joy.

Pro tip: Drizzle with warm caramel or melted peanut butter for next-level indulgence.

💡 Tips for Success

• Use room temperature peanut butter for easy spreading

• Don’t overfill — a little goes a long way

• Roll tightly to keep filling inside while frying

• Start seam-side down in the pan

• Use day-old bread for better structure

• Keep warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven if making ahead

---

❄️ Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days

• Freezer: Flash freeze rolls, then transfer to freezer bag (up to 1 month)

• To reheat: Air fryer or toaster oven = best crispy results. Microwave also works for softer texture.
