Ingredients

White bread, crusts removed
Nutella
Eggs
Milk
Vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon
Sugar
Butter or oil spray (for greasing the air fryer basket)
Optional: powdered sugar or syrup for topping

Directions

Prepare the bread
I remove the crusts from each bread slice, then use a rolling pin to flatten them.
Add Nutella
I spread about a teaspoon of Nutella on one end of each slice, then roll it up tightly.
Make the egg mixture
In a bowl, I whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar.
Coat the roll-ups
I dip each Nutella-filled roll-up into the egg mixture until fully coated.
Preheat the air fryer
I lightly grease the basket with butter or oil spray, then preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
Air fry
I place the roll-ups in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch, and cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Serve
I remove them from the basket, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup, and serve warm.

Servings and timing

Makes 6 roll-ups (about 2 servings).
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Total time: 18 minutes

Variations

Swap Nutella for peanut butter, cookie butter, or fruit jam.
Add sliced strawberries or bananas before rolling for extra flavor.
Use brioche or challah bread for a richer taste.
Sprinkle crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips over the Nutella before rolling.

storage/reheating

I store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness. They’re best eaten fresh, so I avoid freezing.

FAQs

Can I make these without an air fryer?

Yes, I cook them in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of butter, turning until all sides are golden.

Can I prepare them ahead of time?

Yes, I assemble the roll-ups and refrigerate them for a few hours before cooking, but I dip them in the egg mixture just before air frying.

What’s the best bread to use?

I prefer soft, fresh white sandwich bread since it rolls easily without cracking.

Can I make them less sweet?

Yes, I reduce the sugar in the egg mixture and use a smaller amount of Nutella.

How do I keep them from unrolling?

I roll the bread tightly and place the seam side down in the air fryer basket to keep them intact while cooking.

Conclusion

These Air Fryer Nutella French Toast Roll-Ups are a quick, fun, and irresistible way to start the day. I love serving them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar for a café-style touch at home. They’re simple enough for busy mornings yet special enough for brunch with friends or family. Once you try them, they might just become your go-to sweet breakfast treat.
