Ingredients
- 8 slices Keto-Friendly Bread
- 2 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 3 tbsp Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute
- 1/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 2 tbsp Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
Directions
- Start by trimming the crusts from the keto-friendly bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice to make rolling easier.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Swerve confectioners sugar substitute, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg until well combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated Swerve and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Spread a generous amount of the pumpkin filling along the center of each flattened bread slice. Roll them up tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Heat the melted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, dip each roll-up in the egg mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Place the coated roll-ups in the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove from the skillet and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture before serving.
Presentation and Serving Suggestions
These Low-Carb Pumpkin French Toast Roll Ups are not only delicious but also visually appealing! Here are some fun ways to present and serve them:
- Drizzle with Sugar-Free Syrup: A light drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness and makes for a beautiful presentation.
- Top with Whipped Cream: A dollop of sugar-free whipped cream on top can elevate your roll-ups to a whole new level of indulgence.
- Serve with Fresh Berries: A side of fresh berries adds a pop of color and a refreshing contrast to the rich pumpkin flavor.
- Garnish with Nuts: Chopped pecans or walnuts sprinkled on top can add a delightful crunch and enhance the fall flavors.
- Make a Breakfast Platter: Serve the roll-ups alongside scrambled eggs and bacon for a complete breakfast experience.
Storage and Shelf Life
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely because they’re so delicious!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in a skillet to regain that crispy texture.
