Ingredients

8 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed
8 mini peanut butter cups (or chopped regular-sized ones)
Peanut butter (about 1–2 tablespoons, depending on preference)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread until it’s thin and pliable.
Spread Peanut Butter: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over each slice of bread, depending on your preferred peanut butter flavor.
Add Peanut Butter Cup and Strawberries: Place one mini peanut butter cup and a few slices of fresh strawberries at the edge of each slice of bread. Roll the slice tightly into a log.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon.
Heat the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the pan.
Dip and Fry: Dip each roll quickly in the egg mixture, coating all sides. Be sure not to soak the bread too long to avoid sogginess. Place each roll seam-side down in the skillet and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately roll each hot French toast roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
Serve: Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or melted peanut butter for an extra indulgent touch.

Variations

Add More Fruit: Add other fruits like banana slices or raspberries along with the strawberries for a burst of color and flavor.

Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the rolls in place of caramel sauce or peanut butter for a rich chocolatey finish.
Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free bread to make these rolls suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular-sized peanut butter cups instead of mini ones?

Yes, you can use regular-sized peanut butter cups, but you’ll need to chop them into smaller pieces to fit inside the bread slices.

2. Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare the rolls and refrigerate them before frying. Just allow the rolls to chill for about 30 minutes so they hold their shape better during cooking.

3. How do I prevent the rolls from becoming soggy?

Make sure to quickly dip the rolls in the egg mixture, not soaking them for too long. This will keep them from becoming soggy while still ensuring a crispy texture.

4. What if I don’t have cinnamon sugar on hand?

You can make your own cinnamon sugar by mixing 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. If you prefer a different coating, try powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.

5. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

It’s best to use fresh strawberries, but if you only have frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them well before using them to avoid excess moisture.

6. Can I use a different type of bread?

You can experiment with other types of bread such as brioche, challah, or even whole wheat bread for a different texture and flavor.

7. How do I make these more indulgent?

For an extra indulgent treat, you can drizzle extra caramel sauce, melted peanut butter, or chocolate syrup over the rolls before serving.

8. Can I freeze the rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the un-fried rolls before dipping them in the egg mixture. Place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then store them in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, fry them directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the frying time.

9. How can I make these rolls dairy-free?

To make these rolls dairy-free, use dairy-free butter and substitute the milk with almond milk or another non-dairy milk.

10. Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

Yes, you can use crunchy peanut butter for added texture. Just keep in mind that it may change the consistency of the rolls slightly.
