Being too busy to eat doesn’t seem like such a good idea anymore now does it? No, this post isn’t sponsored, I just thought that was interesting info! And who really, who doesn’t love French Toast? You’re gonna love these french toast roll ups!
How many mornings in a week do you miss breakfast? That answer for me is higher than I like to admit! You haven’t lived until you’ve tried French Toast Roll-Ups, no they aren’t the healthiest but #babysteps! The only downside is the ease to eat 4 roll-ups in one seating! Ava and I finished off 8 of these in about 5 minutes, they were that good! One of the downsides of being a busy mom is sometimes (ok a lot of the time) I forget to eat and most times, its breakfast that gets missed the most!
They’re absolutely delicious, easy to make and perfect for freezing for those mornings when you’re in a rush! You’ll never miss breakfast again! You really don’t even need the syrup, as I said, they are that good! I won’t talk your ear off too much, let’s hop right to it!
