French Toast Sticks
This homemade french toast sticks recipe is thick, crispy and golden brown with a warm cinnamon custard coating. Ready in just 15 minutes and perfect for dipping in warm maple syrup!
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 6 slices thick bread , I prefer brioche
Optional Toppings: berries, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, nutella, whipped cream, jam, syrup
Instructions
- Slice 6 pieces bread into 1-inch wide strips.
- Place 1/2 cup milk, 2 Tablespoons flour, 2 eggs, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Alternatively place in a bowl and whisk until smooth and thoroughly mixed.
- Preheat a griddle to 350°F or a skillet over medium-high heat. Butter before placing the bread on. Once the grill is hot dip the bread into the egg mixture and flip to evenly coat. Then place the bread on the griddle and cook 2 minutes per side (or until lightly golden brown). Whisk the egg mixture as needed.
- Serve immediately and top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
I love to roll the sticks in cinnamon sugar right after removing from the griddle before serving.
Soaking overnight: Place bread strips in a baking dish and pour the custard evenly over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight then cook on a buttered griddle in the morning.
Storage: Store leftover french toast sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the air fryer at 400°F for 3-4 minutes until crispy again.
Freezer: Let cooked sticks cool completely then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm. Transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 400°F for 7-10 minutes or in the air fryer at 400°F for 5-6 minutes.
