Sleep is just a time machine to breakfast – anyone agree? I am a huge breakfast lover, and I look forward to it every single day. I definitely prefer sweet breakfasts to savory. I love oatmeal, pancakes, yogurt bowls, and French toast!

Ingredients in peanut butter banana chocolate chip French toast roll-ups
Here is everything you need to make these French toast roll-ups:
- Whole wheat bread: Choose a soft option, because a softer slice of bread is easier to roll up with all the fillings inside.
- Peanut butter: This performs two roles in this recipe: it is one of the main flavor profiles, and it helps the French toast stay rolled up, since it is sticky. Creamy peanut butter is best for this recipe.
- Bananas: Use ripe bananas for the perfect flavor and sweetness.
- Chocolate chips: Sprinkled in the center of the French toast roll-ups, the chocolate chips get warm and melty when cooked.
- Almond milk: Dip the roll-ups in almond milk right before you cook them in a pan.
- Cinnamon: Mixed in with the almond milk, this coats the roll-ups in sweet cinnamon flavor.
- Vegan butter or coconut oil to cook up the French toast roll-ups
- Powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving
How to make French toast roll-ups
First, cut the crusts off of the bread slices and discard. Use a rolling pin to flatten out the slices of bread.
Then, spread peanut butter onto each piece of bread. At the end each piece of bread, add banana slices and chocolate chips. Roll up the fillings into the center, creating your roll-ups. The peanut butter will help secure them.
Whisk together almond milk, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Dip the French toast roll-ups into the almond milk, quickly coating each side.
Heat up the vegan butter or coconut oil in a shallow pan. Place the French toast roll-ups, seam side down, into the pan. Cook for 1-3 minutes until browned and crispy, then flip and cook on the other side.
Serve right away, dusted with powdered sugar. You can either slice them up with a knife and fork, or dip them with your hands into a little dish of maple syrup!
Are French toast roll-ups healthy?
These peanut butter banana chocolate chip French toast-roll ups are a healthier alternative to traditional French toast recipes. They are filled with some nourishing, nutrient-dense ingredients!
- Whole wheat bread has more dietary fiber and protein than white bread. One slice has 2-3 grams of fiber and up to 5 grams of protein. Whole wheat bread also has several micronutrients, including the B-vitamins riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and folate.
- Peanut butter provides high quality plant-based protein – 8 grams in 2 tablespoons! Peanut butter is a good source of heart-healthy unsaturated fat and has a decent amount of dietary fiber.
- Bananas are also a good source of dietary fiber and micronutrients, including potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6.
Protein and fiber are two important keys to building a healthy, balanced, and filling meal. Because these French toast roll-ups have a good amount of dietary fiber and protein, they will keep you full and satisfied for longer than a traditional French toast recipe.
