How to Make Baked French Toast Sticks
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl whisk milk, eggs and vanilla. Cut Texas toast slices into 3 strips each. Dip each strip into egg mixture, let excess run off, transfer to baking sheet. Baste with butter then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 13 minutes. Flip french toast sticks brush with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake until cooked through, about 13 – 18 minutes longer.
Can These Be Made Ahead of Time?
French toast sticks are a great make-ahead breakfast that you could have on hand in the freezer rather than buying the store-bought kind. This recipe would also make an easy Christmas morning breakfast without much effort—make it ahead of time and just heat it up once presents are opened!
Healthier French Toast Recipe
If you want to make a healthier version of your beloved French toast, you can make my baked French toast sticks and use hearty whole-grain bread. Cut back on the sugar and syrup, trying agave or other healthy substitutes. Try this baked French toast recipe and you’ll be hooked!
How to Freeze French Toast Sticks
Let the oven French toast sticks cool on a wire rack, then place them on a baking sheet in an even layer. Freeze the French toast sticks and transfer them to a freezer bag once firm enough. To reheat the frozen French toast sticks, bake them at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.
Can I Use Another Type of Bread?
If you can’t find Texas toast, I recommend using another thick white bread that can be cut into sticks. You may need to visit your local bakery and see what soft, tall loaves of bread they have available.
Tips for the Best French Toast Sticks
Flip the French toast sticks halfway through the baking time to ensure they’re browned evenly on all sides. I prefer using whole milk in this recipe, but you can use any milk you have on hand. These baked French toast sticks are delicious dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with pure maple syrup.
