I enjoy making French toast at home. I don’t do it often, but when I do, the hubster and I always gobble it up. One of the best parts is customizing the flavors and style to suit our taste.

Remember that Apple Pie French Toast Bake, the Pumpkin Spice version, or the Cinnamon Banana Croissant French Toast? I’m a fan of them all. It’s so satisfying to create a dish that’s both simple and packed with flavor.

Whether it’s turning classic French toast into a comforting casserole or giving it a croissant twist, these cozy breakfast creations make mornings extra special.

French Toast Sticks Ingredients:

Homemade French toast sticks require the same ingredients as classic French toast! Here’s what you’ll need to make cinnamon French toast sticks:

  • Granulated sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Texas toast
  • Milk 
  • Eggs
  • Light brown sugar
  • Vanilla bean paste
  • Nutmeg 

How to Make French Toast Sticks:

These cinnamon and sugar French toast may require a little extra time to make, but they’re just as simple to whip up as the original! 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together some cinnamon and granulated sugar. 
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Slice each piece of Texas toast into three pieces. 
  4. Dunk each piece into the egg mixture, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. 
  5. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once halfway through. 

What’s the Best Bread to Use?

A thicker bread is best to use for these french toast sticks so the egg mixture does not make the bread fall apart. I used Texas toast bread, but challah or french bread would work well, too.

Can I Freeze French Toast Sticks? 

Absolutely! These french toast sticks freeze well for when you want a quick breakfast without the prep work. Simply take out of the freezer and let thaw over night in the fridge and then pop into the microwave come morning!

Tips and Tricks:

  • Make sure to dunk each stick in the egg mixture to fully coat and then let the excess mixture drip off. This will help the sticks to stay crispier when baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. I piled on the cinnamon because I love it, but you could also increase the brown sugar if you like a sweeter french toast.
