The flavor of pumpkin means fall and with the best season for baking coming around, I knew I just had to make this french toast roll-up flavor. French toast roll-ups are amazing, but even more amazing with a pumpkin ricotta filling. Full of fiber and protein , these are the perfect fall breakfast. Eat them with a hot cup of coffee and watch the leaves fall, ain’t Nothing better than that.

Pumpkin ricotta sounds so good – I have never tried that combo. It is now on my “to make” list. Thanks for the great recipe.
Alicia says
These look so delicious. Stop it, you’re making me hungry and i only just had lunch!
Nicole says
Why is there another tbsp of pumpkin puree? and when do you add the honey?
Do you dip in egg, then roll in cinnamon sugar? Instructions are a little dodgy….
Bethany And Rachel says
Sorry for the confusion Nicole, this recipe is one of our first recipes and I just updated it! You can scratch the extra tbsp of pumpkin and you roll them in cinnamon and sugar after you cook them. Thank you for letting us know 🙂
Nicole says
When do you add honey?
Bethany And Rachel says
Sorry about that again, you add in with the pumpkin and ricotta for the filling 🙂
