Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Sticks
- 6 slices Thick Bread (at least 1-inch thick)
- 1/2 cup Milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 large Eggs (or flaxseed meal mixed with water / silken tofu for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure extract preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
To Serve
- Maple Syrup
- Whipped Cream
- Fresh Fruits (strawberries, blueberries, or bananas)
- Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Slice Bread: Cut 6 slices of thick bread into 1-inch wide strips and set aside, preparing for dipping and cooking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine milk, flour, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring even flavor in every bite.
- Heat Cooking Surface: Preheat a griddle to 350°F or place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a pat of butter and allow it to melt completely to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Coat Bread Strips: Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, making sure they are thoroughly coated. Let any excess drip off to avoid sogginess during cooking.
- Cook French Toast Sticks: Place the coated bread strips onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to achieve even cooking.
- Serve Warm: Immediately serve the French toast sticks warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruits, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a delightful breakfast experience.

- Adjust cinnamon quantity to your taste preference for stronger or milder spice.
- Use gluten-free bread and flour if avoiding gluten.
