Cinnamon French Toast Sticks Recipe
My seven-year-old’s eyes lit up when she saw these. There’s something about portable, grab-able, or mini food, that I am always drawn to. And if it’s dunk-able or dip-able, even better. These French toast sticks are bursting with cinnamon-sugar flavor. I didn’t want the cinnamon flavor to get lost so I used plenty of cinnamon in the coating mixture, and by dredging the sticks in cinnamon-sugar before serving, there’s a pleasant pop of cinnamon that’s just right for us but you can always dial it down. The coating mixture comes together in minutes by whisking together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugars. The milk I used was Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and I love it. It only has 30-calorie per 8 ounces, tastes great, and if I need a milk for baking, vegan or otherwise, it’s what I use most often. I recently used it in Pumpkin French Toast, Pumpkin Pancakes, Dairy-Free Soft and Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes, and more. All Silk products are dairy-free and gluten-free and I like that Silk is committed to and believes in the benefits of a plant-based diet. After cooking the sticks on my new electric griddle that I’ve been loving, and tossing them in cinnamon-sugar before digging in, I was in comfort food heaven. They’re slightly firm on the outside and tender in the middle. They’re sweet enough that you don’t ‘need’ maple syrup, but I view dunking as mandatory. In fact, I like a little French toast with my syrup.

How to Make French Toast Sticks
To make this cinnamon french toast sticks recipe, you’ll first need to whisk together the eggs, milk, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dip each piece of sliced bread into the egg mixture, making sure it’s well-coated before placing onto the preheated, buttered griddle. Cook the cinnamon french toast sticks for roughly 3 minutes on either side, or until they’re browned to your liking. These french toast sticks are best enjoyed immediately with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
What’s the Best Bread for French Toast Sticks?
I used this French toast bread that I found at my regular grocery. Use a thick-cut bread like Texas toast or thick-sliced challah or French bread. Day-old is preferred because it’s sturdier. Don’t use thin, flimsy bread because it’ll fall apart.
Can I Freeze French Toast Sticks?
Yes, these cinnamon french toast sticks can be frozen for up to 6 months. Reheat them in the microwave or toaster.
Tips for Making French Toast Sticks
When dunking the french toast sticks into the batter, you want to give them enough time to soak up the mixture. However, you don’t want them to soak up too much of the egg mixture, otherwise they’ll fall apart once you place them on the griddle. If desired, you can add more spices to the french toast batter. I like the simple combination of cinnamon and nutmeg, but I bet you could use pumpkin pie spice too or another spice blend you love. I’ve only made this recipe as written, but you could likely make this as regular cinnamon french toast too. But what’s the fun in that, right?
