All the yummy of a cinnamon roll, cooked in a fraction of the time. Use the swirl breads as your French Toast, then finish with a cream cheese drizzle!

Around here, I’ve been on a bit of a cinnamon roll kick lately. 

I absolutely adore the sweet cinnamony bread flavor…but tbh, I don’t love how long and laborious it is to make a homemade cinnamon roll. 

So…I’ve been cooking and baking up different variations of that wonderful cinnamon roll flavor, that don’t take so much work and time to bake.

  • Cinnamon Roll Banana Bread
  • Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal

And adding to that list…Cinnamon Roll French Toast.

Enjoy!

Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Cinnamon Swirl Bread + a "Cream Cheese Syrup" makes this an amazing breakfast or brunch!
Prep Time10 minutes minutes
Cook Time5 minutes minutes

Ingredients 

  • 12 slices cinnamon swirl bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk

Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • 1 Tbsp cream cheese softened
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • dash vanilla 1/8 tsp or less
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar or more if you want it thicker

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to dip the bread in.
  • Heat the griddle to medium low heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Dip the bread on both sides into the egg mixture, then fry both sides for about 1 minute each. Once cooked, set aside for serving. Repeat until all bread slices are toasted.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, milk, vanilla and powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar or milk until desired "drizzle" consistency is reached. It's best as a drizzly "syrup."
  • Drizzle "syrup" over the Cinnamon French Toast and enjoy!
