Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 6 slices Thick Bread (at least 1-inch thick)
Egg Mixture
- 1/2 cup Milk (can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 large Eggs (or flaxseed meal mixed with water or silken tofu for vegan alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (can substitute coconut sugar)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (use pure extract for best flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (increase as desired)
- 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Toppings & Serving
- Maple Syrup
- Whipped Cream
- Fresh Fruits (strawberries, blueberries, or bananas)
- Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Slice 6 pieces of thick bread into 1-inch wide strips and set them aside for coating.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine milk, flour, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a griddle to 350°F or place a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Add a pat of butter and allow it to melt completely.
- Coat Bread Strips: Dip each bread strip into the prepared egg mixture, ensuring full coverage. Let any excess batter drip off before cooking.
- Cook French Toast Sticks: Place the coated bread strips on the hot griddle or skillet. Cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the French toast sticks immediately while warm. Enjoy with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use thick bread to prevent sogginess and maintain a crispy exterior.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water or silken tofu and use plant-based milk.
- Sift powdered sugar over the sticks just before serving for a beautiful presentation.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for more or less spice.
- Be sure to preheat the cooking surface properly for even browning.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster or oven to retain crispness.
