Need a new snack idea for the kids after school? How about just for you because you are awesome and deserve a delicious snack?
Have I got just the thing for you.
This recipe makes 2 roll-ups. Each roll-up has 210 calories, 30 carbs, 9 fat, and 6 protein, according to Myfitnesspal. These are so amazing! Totally worth the indulgence.
These are like little bites of cinnamon cheesecake with a crunchy crust. Who wouldn't love that? Okay...we all know Sue probably wouldn't...but that's only because she's crazy.
*sigh*
For those of us who aren't crazy...go..make this right now!! I'm pretty sure you will fall in love with this easy yet impressive treat!
Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Roll-Ups
Ingredients
2 slices whole grain bread
2 Tbsp light cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp icing sugar
1 Tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Preheat toaster oven to 350. (Can also be made in a regular oven) Line small, flat oven safe dish with parchment paper, set aside.
Cut off bread crusts. Using a rolling pin or heavy glass, roll bread out so it is thin.
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and icing sugar until well mixed. Spread evenly on 2 slices of bread.
Roll up, jelly roll style, gently pressing to seal seam.
Using a pastry or basting brush, brush all over with melted butter.
In a small dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the bread that has been brushed with the melted butter. Place on prepared baking tray, seam side down.
Bake for approx 7 minutes, gently flip over, and bake 7 minutes more.
Remove from oven and let sit for 2 - 3 minutes. Eat as is or slice in half and serve. (Be careful, filling will be hot!)
Who knew boring old bread could be transformed into something so decadent? I imagine making a sundae out of this by topping with a scoop of frozen yogurt and some caramel sauce. Pretty sure that would ruin me entirely for ever eating toast "the old way" ever again.
Oh well...it's a risk I'm willing to take.

My 5 year old is diabetic. Do you think I could substitute stevia with both the sugar and the sugar icing?
ReplyDeleteI don't see why that wouldn't work. Please let us know how it turns out for you!
DeleteOh wow these look delicious! And they need to be made and eaten right now, I think. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'd have never thought of making bread into something so exciting!
ReplyDeleteThey are exciting! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do :)
DeleteMay try this with raisin bread and serve as an easy dessert for a dinner party :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh it would be soooo good with raisin bread!!
Deletewhat is icing sugar?
ReplyDeleteIcing sugar is powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar. http://www.lantic.ca/products/icing-sugar.php?lg=en&mapPage=2
DeleteI just made these for dessert! So delicious and easy! I didn't have any powdered sugar so I added a splash of vanilla instead... and it turned out great! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI used to make these for my children except we put peanut butter in the middle and rolled up! Yum
ReplyDeleteMy daughter used cream cheese, cinnamon and sugar and added pie filling to kick it up a notch. Great dessert. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks scrumptious! Can these be refrigerated and served later? Or will they get mushy?
ReplyDeleteI have only ever made them and served them right away. I would think if you refrigerated them they would definitely lose the "toastiness" of the bread.
