  1. Glaze: Use a hand mixer and beat together yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. If the glaze is really thick, add tablespoon of almond milk in increments until texture is to your liking! Store in the refrigerator until it’s time to use.
  2. Wet mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs. Once they’re broken down, add milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and salt.
  3. Topping: In another mixing bowl (with a flat bottom), rimmed plate, or small rectangular pan, combine sugar, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar together. I used a 5x7 pan so that each piece of bread could lay flat while covering it. Set mixture aside until after cooking.
Make French Toast
  1. Arrange the Challah bread slices in a 9x13 pyrex pan. Pour the wet mixture on top of the bread and allow it to soak for up to 5 minutes. Flip the bread halfway to ensure it is soaked completely. 
  2. Heat a skillet to medium heat and wait for the pan to heat up before adding the butter.
  3. Add slices of challah bread to the pan one at a time, ensuring no overlap. Cook the french toast for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden, crispy brown.
  4. Once the french toast is cooked, use a spatula to transfer it into the sugar mixture and dip on each side. 
  5. Once you're ready to serve, top the churro french toast with glaze, syrup, or fresh berries. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If there’s any crumbs in the pan between frying each piece, wipe it clean before adding more butter and the next piece of French toast. This will ensure you don’t end up with burnt bits on the outside of your bread.

  • I also keep a stick of butter handy while making french toast so between each flip, I can hit the pan with a little bit more. After cooking, I also use the stick of butter to generously butter each side, prior to adding the sugar. This step is optional; though it will ensure the greased, churro aspect of this recipe isn’t lost.

  • As you cook your Churro French Toast pieces, keep the done slices on a sheet pan in the oven at 250° until you’re ready to serve to keep them warm.
