Lemon Blueberry French Toast Rolls

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Lemon Blueberry French Toast RollsI have paired lemon + blueberry in recipes before, but not like this. Not for breakfast. Not rolled, tacked, drowned, browned, sauced, zested, and devoured! This was a whole different lemon + blueberry experience.

Lemon Blueberry French Toast Rolls

There are many things I considered calling this recipe: french toast sushi, tortilla french toast, blueberry breakfast wraps, fruity fakeout crepes, or simply the best breakfast ever.

6 Fruity French Toast-Making Tips!

1. Use 1 frozen banana and 1 fresh banana for a thicker batter that will stick better to the tortilla/bread.

2. Use the extra batter as a sauce! It is just banana, milk, and lemon after all. It makes for a lovely, creamy sauce, and zero waste.

3. Scrape the burnt crusties off the bottom of the pan in between each roll. If you don’t, those burnt bits will stick to the next roll in a non-tasty way. Use the back of your spatula to remove those bits. They will come off quite easily.

4. Preheat the pan. Make sure it is hot BEFORE bread meets pan. You want to hear that sweet sizzle. It’s a sign that you are on your way to that perfectly brown exterior.

5. If you don’t want to wrap and roll, you could make them flat, quesadilla-style!

6. Watch the video (especially if you want to see how I made an easy blueberry sauce for topping)!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 5 corn tortillas
  • 1/2–1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberry jam/preserves (I love Polaner All Fruit spreads)

Instructions

  1. Blend the bananas, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a blender until smooth. Pour into a shallow dish and set aside.
  2. Wrap one tortilla in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 10 seconds to soften it.
  3. While it is still soft, add a large spoonful of blueberry jam and a handful of fresh blueberries. Roll it up. Secure the roll with two toothpicks.
  4. Repeat with the rest of the rolls.
  5. Heat up a non-stick pan.
  6. Soak one of the rolls in the batter. Move the batter-coated roll to the hot pan.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 2 minutes per side. After the first flip you can remove the toothpicks. You want the tortilla to brown but not burn, so don’t take your eyes off of it. Once all sides are slightly browned, remove from the pan. Scrape off any burnt bits from the bottom of pan.
  8. Repeat for the rest of the rolls.
  9. Top with the sauce (remaining batter), fresh blueberries, and lemon zest.

    How did I miss that you have a Youtube Channel? Your videos are wonderful <3 And this recipe is right up my alley too! Lemon and blueberries are such a good combination 🙂 Btw. I just pinned a picture from here directly, and it puts the picture name (including the .jpg) instead of the Alt-Tag or recipe title in the caption for Pinterest, xoxo Kat

        I’m sure something could be done, yes. 🙂 Great idea. Maybe I’ll try something like that in the future.

        As for Pinterest – I really recommend the plugin jQuery Pin It Button For Images – it’s awesome. You can even set up a custom image. 😉

      Lemon and blueberry are awesome together! And really great with cornmeal too, so the corn tortillas are a bonus 🙂 I need to get back into making more videos, so hopefully as school gets less busy I’ll be able too!

    Sheer genius! I’m already thinking of a million and one ways I could make “French toast” with piadina (an Italian version of a tortilla). Can’t wait to test it out this weekend.

    Ok, this is just plain awesome — knocked my socks off! Looks so good. I love blueberries and lemon, french toast, jam, bananas, EVEYTHING! 🙂 The moment I find some wraps I can eat, I’m making this. Like immediately. Love the vid too.

      Thank you Audrey! I can’t wait to try a version with chocolate involved somehow 😉

      Have you ever tried making banana crepes as a wrap alternative? There are lots of recipes out there like:
      http://www.therawtarian.com/raw-crepe-recipe
      OR
      http://www.choosingraw.com/raw-breakfast-crepes/
      I’m not sure if you have a dehydrator, but you could maybe try it in the oven on a super low temp. Just an idea 🙂

      I like to consider them fakeout crepes, because I have no idea how to make crepes, but these are a pretty darn easy knock-off 🙂 And thanks, videos are one of those things that I mean to do more of but just don’t haha.

      Thanks Alix! It is kind of a funky use for a corn tortilla, but so good altogether. I figured cornmeal in baking is delicious, so why not 🙂

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
