Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Cinnamon Roll French Toast – A Fun and Yummy Breakfast for Kids 10 Months and Up

If you’re looking for a fun, cozy twist on a classic breakfast, this Cinnamon Roll French Toast is the perfect idea for little ones 10 months and older. It combines everything kids love about cinnamon rolls and French toast—sweetness, softness, and warmth, into an easy-to-make recipe that’s just as nutritious as it is delicious. With whole wheat bread, almond butter, cinnamon, and a simple egg mixture, this version keeps things wholesome while still feeling like a special treat. The rolled-up shape is fun to look at, easy for tiny hands to hold, and soft enough for young eaters learning to chew and you can drizzle some yogurt on it to replicate the cinnamon roll frosting, so yum! It’s a great option for baby-led weaning (BLW), toddler breakfasts, or even a creative snack.

Why Cinnamon Roll French Toast Is Great for Little Ones:

This recipe turns simple ingredients into something exciting, soft, and easy to eat. Here’s why it works so well for young eaters:

• Great for picky eaters – The fun rolled-up shape and sweet cinnamon flavor make it more appealing than regular toast.

• Toddler-friendly – Soft on the inside, lightly crisp on the outside. For toddlers you can have them dip it in a little maple syrup or yogurt to make things tastier!

• Perfect for baby-led weaning (BLW) – Easy to hold, self-feed, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

• Versatile meal – Serve it for breakfast, lunch, or even a creative snack.

• Lunchbox-friendly – Tastes great at room temperature and fits perfectly in bento-style lunchboxes.

• Great for on-the-go – Roll format makes it ideal for stroller snacks or travel-friendly bites.

Whether you’re feeding a toddler or packing a lunch, this cinnamon roll French toast checks all the boxes for a kid-approved meal.
