Make quick, sweet French toast bites using soft Hawaiian rolls. This recipe is simple and perfect for brunch or a kid-friendly breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in their original cluster shape.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
  4. Dip each half of the roll cluster into the egg mixture, ensuring both the top and bottom halves absorb some liquid. Do not soak them for too long; the soft rolls absorb liquid quickly.
  5. Place the dipped roll cluster cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the French toast bites are set and lightly golden brown.
  7. If desired, sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar during the last 5 minutes of baking for a slight crust.
  8. Carefully separate the individual bites with a knife or spatula. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, assemble the bites in the dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Serve these mini French toast recipe bites with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries for a complete brunch finger foods experience.
  • If you prefer an air fryer French toast bites method, cook 3-4 bites at 325°F (160°C) for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
