Peanut Butter Cup French Toast Rolls

A Love Letter to Peanut Butter & Chocolate

From the first spoonful of peanut butter as a kid to the dreamy, velvety bite of a melted chocolate bar, the union of these two favorites has stood the test of time. Some call it magic, others call it destiny—but we call it delicious.

Inspired by the classic peanut butter cup, these French Toast Rolls elevate breakfast to a dessert-worthy occasion. They’re crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of that irresistible chocolate-peanut butter combo. Whether you’re making them for brunch, dessert, or a midnight treat, they’re sure to win hearts and cause forks to duel.

Ingredients

For the Rolls:

  • 8 slices of soft white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
  • 4–5 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 4–5 tablespoons Nutella or chocolate spread

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 2 medium eggs
  • 50 ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar:

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

For Cooking:

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

For Topping:

  • Melted peanut butter (for drizzling)
  • Optional: chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar

Method

1. Form the Rolls

  • Use a rolling pin or clean glass to flatten each bread slice.
  • Spread a thin layer of peanut butter and Nutella on each slice (about 1 tsp each).
  • Roll each slice up tightly like a cigar, sealing the edge by pressing gently.

2. Make the Egg Dip

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

3. Dip & Fry

  • Dip each roll into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the rolls and cook, turning often, until golden brown on all sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).

4. Cinnamon Sugar Coat

  • Immediately after frying, roll the hot French toast rolls in the cinnamon-sugar mix until well coated.

5. Dress to Impress

  • Drizzle melted peanut butter over the top.
  • Add any optional toppings—crushed peanuts, chocolate chips, or even a scoop of ice cream if you’re feeling fancy.

The Story Behind the Sizzle

French toast, or “pain perdu” (lost bread), originated in Europe as a way to revive stale bread. It was passed down through generations as a comforting way to start the day. Meanwhile, peanut butter was revolutionizing pantries across America, and by the 1920s, the first peanut butter and chocolate confections were born.

This recipe fuses those two nostalgic flavors into something new—French toast for the peanut butter cup lover.

Conclusion: A Bite of Happiness

These Peanut Butter Cup French Toast Rolls are everything a morning treat should be—warm, nostalgic, indulgent, and made with love. They’re perfect for slow Sundays, sleepovers, brunch with friends, or impressing someone you adore.

Made with Love, Shared by Lovers

Love doesn’t need grand gestures—it can be shared in a hot pan, a sticky spoon, or the smile after the first bite. So grab someone you care about (even if it’s yourself) and roll up something sweet.
