Healthy-ish? Let’s Talk Nutritional Benefits

Now, I know Nutella isn’t exactly a health food (it’s a treat, after all!), but you’re using bread, eggs, and milk too, so at least you get some protein and calcium from the eggs and milk. Opting for white sandwich bread makes it traditional and soft, but you could choose whole grain bread if you’re looking for an extra fiber boost. The best part is, this recipe is fully customizable, so if you want to make it a bit lighter or tweaked for your health goals, you totally can. I’ll give you some ideas down below.

Here’s How to Make Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 8 slices white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
• 1 cup Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• Butter or oil (for frying)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start by removing the crusts from each slice of bread. Then, gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin. This step helps you roll them up smoothly without breaking.
2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of Nutella evenly over each flattened bread slice. I like to be generous because that’s the best part!
3. Roll up each bread slice tightly, starting from one edge, and make sure the Nutella is tucked inside fully.
4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until it’s all mixed nicely.
5. Heat your skillet or frying pan over medium heat, and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
6. Dip each Nutella roll-up gently into the egg mixture, turning it to coat all sides. Just be careful not to soak too long, or your bread could become soggy.
7. Place the coated roll-ups seam side down in the heated skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, gently turning until all sides are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel for a moment if needed.
9. Arrange your Nutella French toast roll-ups on a plate and dust with powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.
10. Serve immediately while warm for the best gooey, melty Nutella experience—trust me, it’s worth it!

Some Helpful Tips to Make Your Roll-Ups Perfect

• Don’t skip flattening the bread: It really helps prevent the bread from cracking while rolling.
• Use medium heat: This ensures the roll-ups heat through without burning the outside.
• Keep an eye on soaking time: Dip just long enough to coat, but not so long that the bread falls apart.
• For extra flavor: Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon mixed into the sugar or roll the finished roll-ups in cinnamon sugar.
• Leftovers? Store cooled roll-ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.

What Equipment Will Make This Easy?

• Rolling pin (or a clean bottle works in a pinch!)
• Mixing bowl for the egg mixture
• Whisk or fork to beat eggs and milk
• Non-stick skillet or frying pan
• Spatula for turning roll-ups
• Plate and paper towels for draining

Quick Variations to Try

• Use whole-wheat or gluten-free bread to fit your diet preferences.
• Swap Nutella for peanut butter or almond butter if you want a different flavor.
• Add some fresh banana slices inside before rolling for extra texture and natural sweetness.
• Make it dairy-free by using a plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and a non-dairy butter substitute.
• Top with fresh berries or drizzle honey to make it a little more special when serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use other types of bread? Definitely! Just make sure to flatten it well so it rolls smoothly. Brioche or challah bread works beautifully too.
2. Can I prepare these ahead of time? Yes! You can roll them up and keep them covered in the fridge. When ready, dip and fry as usual.
3. Is there a way to bake these instead of frying? Absolutely! Place the roll-ups seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden.
4. How do I prevent Nutella from leaking out? Flatten the bread well and roll as tightly as you can. Also, cooking seam side down first helps seal them shut.
5. Can I freeze these roll-ups? Yes! Freeze after cooking, wrapped well, and reheat in an oven or toaster oven to keep the outside crispy.
