Description
These pumpkin french toast roll-ups are festive, portable, and delicious — the ultimate cozy fall breakfast idea. Creamy pumpkin filling rolled in soft bread, dipped in egg batter, and cooked to golden perfection. Perfect for Thanksgiving mornings or anytime you want a sweet, seasonal treat.
Ingredients
8 slices soft sandwich bread (white or whole wheat) ½ cup (120 g) canned pumpkin puree 2 oz (60 g) cream cheese, softened 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 2 large eggs ¼ cup (60 ml) milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking) Powdered sugar or maple syrup (optional, for serving) Optional Toppings and Dips: Cinnamon-sugar mix Whipped cream Warm caramel or chocolate sauce
Instructions
1. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread. In a small bowl, mix pumpkin puree, cream cheese, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Spread 1–2 teaspoons of filling over each slice of bread. Roll up tightly and set aside seam-side down. 2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then place in skillet. 3. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides — about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve warm.
Notes
• Use soft, thin-sliced sandwich bread for easy rolling. • Don’t overfill — a thin layer of filling prevents leaking during cooking. • Cook on medium heat so they crisp without burning. • Make ahead: assemble roll-ups and refrigerate overnight, then cook fresh in the morning.
