Unleash the magic of sweet Hawaiian rolls! This French toast recipe creates a fluffy, golden dream. Drenched in vanilla-cinnamon custard. Full instructions and nutrition info included.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (1 package)
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Carefully slice each Hawaiian sweet roll in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom half for each roll. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the large eggs, whole milk, vanilla bean paste, and ground cinnamon until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Step 3: Working in batches, gently dip each half of the Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, ensuring both cut sides are coated. Avoid over-soaking, as the rolls are delicate.
  4. Step 4: Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the dipped roll halves, cut-side down, into the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add the remaining butter as needed for subsequent batches.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the cooked Hawaiian roll French toast to plates. Dust generously with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Leftover Hawaiian roll French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; for best results, avoid dusting with powdered sugar or syrup until you're ready to reheat and serve.
  • To bring your French toast back to its golden glory, gently reheat it in a toaster oven or air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes until warmed through and slightly crisp, or briefly warm in a lightly buttered skillet.
  • Elevate your experience by topping these delightful French toast bites with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream, or embrace the tropical vibes with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
  • For perfectly golden and fluffy results, focus on coating only the cut sides of the Hawaiian rolls with the egg mixture; their natural sweetness means a quick dip is all you need to absorb flavor without making them overly soggy before hitting the pan.
