Description
Make delicious, kid-friendly Baked French Toast Sticks easily. These are perfect for quick breakfasts and everyone will love dipping them.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices thick bread (like Texas toast or brioche)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating, mixed with sugar)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Cut each slice of bread lengthwise into three equal sticks. You should have 36 sticks total.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate shallow dish, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the coating.
- Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off briefly. Do not over-soak.
- Place the coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Immediately transfer the hot sticks to the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Toss gently to coat all sides evenly.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fruit.
Notes
- Thick bread holds up best when dipped in the custard mixture.
- You can prepare the sticks the night before and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
- For an extra crispy coating, try adding 1/4 cup of finely crushed cornflakes to the sugar-cinnamon mix.
