Roll over boring breakfast! There’s a new toast in town. Crispy and stuffed with healthy ingredients, French toast roll-ups are a welcome twist on tradition. Cinnamon raisin bread is rolled around apple butter and a smear of nut butter for added protein. They incorporate all the flavors we love – and are gluten- and dairy free, too. For an easy pick-up-and-go finger food for busy mornings, make them in advance and pop them in the oven for a quick warm up.
