💡 Pro Tips & Variations
✅ More Filling? Add a spoonful of Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit jam inside.
✅ Extra Crunchy? Use thicker Texas toast bread or let them sit for a minute before frying.
✅ Glaze Instead of Sugar Coating? Drizzle with a quick icing (powdered sugar + milk).
✅ Make It Ahead: Prep the roll-ups the night before & refrigerate.
🔥 These are like mini cinnamon rolls but even easier! Perfect for a fun breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Enjoy! 🥰
