How To Make Pumpkin French Toast Rolls
The best thing about these yummy french toast rolls is that they’re all prepped and bake in the oven at the same time! It makes cooking breakfast for a hungry family so much easier.
French Toast Batter
Start by whisking or blending the french toast batter together in a large bowl. This will coat the french toast rolls, giving them a nice delicious crust when baked.
Flatten Bread
To make the best french toast rolls, it’s essential to flatten the bread as thin as possible with a rolling pin. Removing the crust makes it seal a lot easier too.
I like to use just a cheap basic white bread from the store.
Stuff and Roll
Place the pumpkin butter in a ziplock bag and snip the corner off. Now you can pipe a line of filling on the edge of each piece of flattened white bread.
Tightly roll up the piece of bread, starting at the side with the filling, enclosing it into a tube.
Don’t squeeze too hard, or the filling will want to escape.
Dip In Batter
Once all your french toast sticks are rolled and ready, dip them into the milk and egg batter we blended earlier. Allow them to soak up some of the batter, about 5 to 10 seconds, then place them on a greased baking sheet at least one inch apart.
Bake French Toast
Once all the french toast rolls are dipped and lined up on a baking sheet, go ahead and pop them in the oven at 375 degrees F.
Bake them for about 9 minutes, brush with melted butter, flip over, brush with more butter and then continue baking an additional 8 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
Roll In Sugar
Finally, once the pumpkin french toast rolls are finished baking, while they’re still warm, roll them in a mixture of sugar and pumpkin pie spice… giving them a sweet finish.
Serve these stuffed French Toast rolls while they’re nice and warm with plenty of maple syrup or my Buttermilk Syrup for an extra special breakfast!
Tips and Variations
Fillings
You can swap out the pumpkin butter filling for other things like, jelly, cream filling, nutella, cherry or blueberry pie filling… the options are endless!
Breads
I recommend sticking with a cheap white bread for this recipe, as it smashes down nicely and is pretty affordable. You could use whole wheat as well, but I would stay away from anything with added nuts, seeds or grains that are visible.
You could also try making my homemade sandwich bread if you like!
Make Ahead & Storage
Can you make stuffed french toast ahead of time?
Yes! This recipe is actually fantastic for prepping ahead of time. Simply dip the french toast rolls in the batter, line on a baking sheet and pop in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Once frozen, you can then store them in a zip-close bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Pull a few out from the freezer and bake as directed!
Air Fryer Instructions
If you’re making a smaller batch, try popping them in the air fryer for quick results!
Make sure they aren’t touching when you place them in the air fryer at 400 degrees F. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping half way through. Coat in butter and roll in the sugar mixture!

Pumpkin French Toast Rolls
Ingredients
- 18-20 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 1 cup Pumpkin Butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, flour, baking powder and pinch of pumpkin pie spice in a blender and blend for 10-15 seconds (or place ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth and combined). Pour into a large shallow bowl, set aside.
- In another shallow bowl combine the sugar and 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, stir till evenly combined. Set aside.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece of bread, then spread a line of pumpkin butter across the bottom edge of the flattened bread (I placed pumpkin butter in a zip close bag, then snipped off the corner to squeeze out evenly). Roll up and place seam side down. Repeat with remaining bread.
- Once they are all rolled up, dip them into the egg and milk mixture, letting them soak for about 5-10 seconds. Place on a lightly greased baking pan (I used my silicone baking mat), at least 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 9 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter, flip and brush again with melted butter. Bake for an additional 8-12 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Once cool enough to handle (but still quite warm), roll in the pumpkin spice and sugar mixture to coat. Serve warm with maple syrup. Enjoy!

Definitely trying these soon! I made Pumpkin Butter for the first time last Fall and it was sooo good! Got splattered on several times, but it was worth it! 😀 And, it can be used for so many things, but I love it most on hot, buttered biscuits or toast. Thanks for sharing.
