Woke up last weekend craving french toast. And, yup…you guessed it –
I didn’t just want to make classic french toast, so decided to go to the farmers market, get creative and make them into “sticks”…then sprinkled cinnamon and coco palm sugar on top for extra flavor!
Cinnamon- Sugar French Toast Sticks. Mmmmmmmm.
Here’s what I used and how I made it:
Ingredients:
– 6 slices of Bread (I used fresh egg bread/”challah”. Use bread of choice)
– 2-3 Eggs
– 1/4 cup Milk (Dairy or almond or hemp or soy)
– 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (butter or earth balance)
– 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
– 2 tbsp Cinnamon
– 2 tbsp Coconut Palm Sugar
– 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
– Optional: sprinkle with maple syrup, honey or brown rice syrup
1. Slice bread
The Bread Man said that the "egg" bread was the best for french toast...
2. Slice into 1-inch strips like “sticks”
feel like a kid again and eat them as sticks!
3. Whisk egg, milk and vanilla extract together in bowl.
4. Soak bread into egg-milk mixture until bread is absorbed. Beware of soaking too long, which will make it too soggy to pick up and cook.
soaking, soaking, soaking...
5. Coat pan with coconut oil.
coco oil melting...
6. Place each stick carefully on pan.
they cook pretty fast so keep your eye on them!
7. Cook until brown.
Mmmmm...looking good!
8. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar until coated. Sprinkle with salt to taste (salty and sweet tastes delish!)
coconut palm sugar + cinnamon = best combo
9. Optional- sprinkle with honey or maple syrup.
10. Voila! Enjoy!

Be delicious. Be sweet. Be well.
