    French toast roll ups are a delicious and fun way to enjoy French toast. Stuffed with Nutella and/ or creamy strawberry jam filling, these roll ups are easy to make for breakfast.

    This is an eggless French toast rolls recipe. So instead of eggs, I use custard powder. Do try these for your family and I am sure you will enjoy them as much as my family does.

    About the Recipe

    Who doesn't like French toast for breakfast? If my kids have their way, they can eat them every single day. I love making my eggless French toast for breakfast at least once a month.

    So, this French toast roll ups idea came about while browsing through Pinterest. It reminds me of a stuffed pancake recipe served at a popular pancake chain in the US.

    Stuffing the bread with Nutella, strawberry jam and cream cheese before dipping in the custard makes this recipe taste amazing. The best part is that the fillings can be whatever you like. If Nutella is not your thing, then simply use jam or just chopped berries.

    This is a no egg French toast roll up recipe. Instead of eggs, I use custard powder and it works like a magic. Check the ingredient section for substitutions that you can use instead.

    All in all this is a very easy breakfast. These Nutella roll ups look very fancy and are great to serve guests at a breakfast or brunch party. You can also roll the cooked roll ups in cinnamon sugar for extra deliciousness.

    Ingredients

    For the details of the exact quantities of each ingredient and the list of ingredients needed, check the printable recipe card below.

    Here are the ingredients you need to make these French toast roll ups:

    • Bread - you can use either white or whole-wheat bread. I prefer white whole wheat bread that is not too wheaty.
    • Butter - I prefer unsalted butter but feel free to use salted if you like
    • To make eggless custard, you will need:
      • Milk - preferably 2% or whole milk. Non dairy milk like oat and almond will also be great.
      • Custard powder - any brand will work. I recommend either Bird's or Brown & Polson. If you don't have custard powder, then use cornstarch along with a splash of extra vanilla.
      • Granulated Sugar
      • Vanilla
    • You can totally make this recipe with eggs. Simply whisk in 2 eggs instead of the custard powder.
    Ingredients needed - details in recipe card
    • To make the stuffing, you will need:
      • Cream cheese - full or low fat
      • Nutella or other chocolate spread
      • Jam - either strawberry or any of your favorite fruit flavor

    Instructions

    For the detailed instructions on how to make the recipe with exact timings, check the printable recipe card below.

    If you are wondering, how to make French toast rolls without eggs, then here's how to make then:

    In a shallow plate or a pie pan, combine custard powder, milk, sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

    Bowls of Custard powder and sugar

    Roll the bread slices to flatten them a little using a rolling pin. Removing the edges is optional, I left them on mine.

    Spread the filling (s) of choice on the bottom quarter of the bread and roll it into a tight roll.

    Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet on medium heat. Dip the bread roll in milk mixture, roll it around so that it absorbs milk evenly, then place seam side down in the preheated skillet. Cook until all sides are evenly browned, about 2~3 minutes on medium flame.

      Pavani what a brilliant idea to use custard instead of eggs for an eggless version of French Toast. I love French Toast and the suggestion to roll up the bread with Nutella sounds just what I'd like to have.

      Your recipe is just in the right time. My son has been asking me to make French toast at home for a long time now and I made this recipe for him. It was lovely and he loved it. Thanks for the egg free recipe.

      French toast with custard powder instead of eggs is a wonderful idea Pavani. Loved how you have converted them into rolls and used Nutella. Brilliant idea. A must try recipe.

      This is a nice veg version of French toast. I am itching to try out this recipe. The flavor of custard powder goes so well with Nutella filling, and then the dusting over with cinnamon sugar mixture after frying is all so irresistible. Great post!
