Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Sticks
These french toast sticks are slightly firm on the outside, tender in the middle, and the cinnamon flavor really shines through!
Ingredients
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup almond milk Silk brand, unsweetened vanilla
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- butter for griddle or pan
- 4 lices bread Texas toast or thick-sliced French toast, sliced into 1-inch wide strips
- maple syrup or your favorite topping, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat electric griddle (takes about 10 minutes) or preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat a minute or two before you’ll need it; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and whisk until combined.
- Butter the griddle or skillet.
- Dip 1 slice of bread into the coating mixture for about 5 to 10 seconds, flipping over once, and making sure it’s well-coated before adding to griddle; don’t let bread become overly saturated because it’ll break and fall apart. Repeat with all slices of bread until coating mixture is gone.
- Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until as done and browned as desired, flipping and rotating the sticks so all sides are cooked and browned. Add more butter to griddle or skillet as necessary and wipe griddle with paper towel as necessary to remove black bits.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup or your favorite topping.
Notes
- *I used this French toast bread found at my regular grocery store; or use thick-sliced white bread or challah, day-old preferred; don’t use thin, flimsy bread because it’ll fall apart.
- French toast sticks are best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months and can be gently reheated in the micro or toaster.
