Nutella Stuffed French Toast Roll Ups in the Air Fryer Recipe

Introduction

French Toast Roll Ups are a fun and delicious twist on classic French toast. These bite-sized rolls filled with Nutella make for a perfect breakfast or snack that’s quick to prepare and full of flavor.

The image shows two rolled crepes stacked on a white plate with a white marbled surface background. The top crepe is cut at one end, revealing a dark chocolate filling swirled inside with visible layers of soft, spongy crepe that is light golden with specks of darker spots. Both crepes are dusted with powdered sugar on their slightly textured surfaces, giving a light white contrast. At the bottom left of the plate, a fresh, bright red raspberry sits, adding a pop of color and a smooth, bumpy texture. The photo captures the close-up detail of the crepes and the raspberry with soft lighting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 10 slices white bread
  • 10 tablespoons Nutella
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar, for topping
  • Syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Trim the crusts off each bread slice, then use a rolling pin to flatten each piece evenly.
  3. Step 3: Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella over each flattened bread slice. Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other to form rolls.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Dip each bread roll into the egg mixture briefly, allowing the excess to drip off before placing them in the air fryer basket.
  6. Step 6: Air fry the rolls for 5-6 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  7. Step 7: Once cooked, remove the roll ups and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with syrup on the side.

Tips & Variations

  • Use whole wheat or brioche bread for a different texture and richer flavor.
  • Replace Nutella with peanut butter or cream cheese for a tasty variation.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the rolls lightly with melted butter before air frying.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be baked at 375°F (190°C) on a greased baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, turning once.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to retain crispiness, or microwave for a softer texture. It’s best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.

How to Serve

The image shows a white round plate with three rolled pastries dusted with powdered sugar. Two pastries are light golden brown, while the third has a darker, chocolatey inside visible from the spiral cut edge. Around the plate, there are scattered fresh red raspberries and dark blue blueberries. To the left, a white square bowl overflows with bright red raspberries. Other white round plates hold similar pastries with powdered sugar and berries on a white marbled surface. Nearby, there is a glass bottle with white milk and a striped blue-and-white straw, and a honey jar with a metal lid. A black-and-white checkered cloth is folded near the bottom edge. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Bread Roll Ups

  • 10 slices white bread
  • 10 tablespoons Nutella

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toppings

  • Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
  • Syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spritz the air fryer basket with oil spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts off each slice of bread, then use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly to make them easier to roll.
  3. Spread Nutella: Spread 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly over each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread up tightly around the Nutella to form compact rolls.
  4. Make Egg Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Dip Rolls: Dip each Nutella-filled bread roll into the egg mixture for a couple of seconds, allowing the bread to soak up some of the mixture. Let any excess drip off before cooking.
  6. Air Fry Rolls: Place the dipped bread rolls into the prepared air fryer basket. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning on all sides.
  7. Serve: Remove the French toast roll ups from the air fryer and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Serve warm with syrup on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • Removing the crust helps the bread roll up more easily and creates a neater roll.
  • Flattening the bread slice with a rolling pin is key to prevent cracking when rolling.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, these can also be cooked in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown, turning carefully.
  • Adjust the cinnamon amount according to your taste preference or omit if desired.
  • Use parchment paper in the air fryer basket for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking without extra oil.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture, as the rolls can become soggy if left too long.
