Ingredients

• 12 Hawaiian rolls: These sweet, fluffy rolls are the star of the show!
• 4 large eggs: They help bind everything together.
• 1 cup milk: Use whole or your favorite alternative for creaminess.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For that lovely, warm flavor.
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: A sprinkle of spice makes everything nice.
• 2 tablespoons sugar: Sweetness for a delightful treat.
• 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking): Adds richness and flavor.
• Powdered sugar (for serving): A sweet finishing touch.

How to Make Hawaiian Roll French Toast Recipe

1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined. This is where the magic begins!
2. Slice the Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, creating sandwich-like pieces. I love how easy this part is!
3. Soak the Rolls: Dip each half of the Hawaiian rolls into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the liquid. Don’t rush this step—it’s what gives you that delicious flavor!
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. The butter will add a beautiful richness to your French toast.
5. Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked Hawaiian rolls in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip them carefully to keep that lovely shape!
6. Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and add fresh fruit if desired. Your breakfast is now a feast!

Substitutions & Additions

If you’re looking to mix things up, here are some ideas:

• Swap out the milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon for an extra flavor kick.
• Try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a fun twist.

Tips for Success

• Don’t let the rolls soak too long, or they might fall apart.
• Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the rolls for that perfect golden crust.
• If making ahead, cook the French toast and store it in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or toaster for a quick breakfast!

How to Store Hawaiian Roll French Toast Recipe

If you have leftovers (which I hope you do!), let them cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for a month. Just reheat in the toaster or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy again!
