I am a huge fan of French toast, it is one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. It is fun to mix it up a bit and make these French Toast bites instead. This recipe reminds me of bread pudding. So if you love French toast and you love bread pudding, you will love these French Toast bites!
Another thing I love about these is that they are the perfect portion size. Although I still wind up eating a bunch of them, they are that good. Top them with maple syrup, cinnamon, and sugar, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, etc., and dive in.
French toast bites are so incredibly easy to make and come together in minutes. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get baking!
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of milk 375 mL
- 1 1/2 Tbsp of vanilla extract 22 mL
- 2 Tbsp of white granulated sugar 30 g
- 2 tsp. of cinnamon 5 g
- 8 to 10 slices of thick bread I use Texas Toast
- Cinnamon and sugar mixture for topping
Instructions
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (176 C) And spray the muffin pan with cooking spray or grease it with shortening.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. You can use a mixer or blender too if you like.
Cut 8 to 10 slices of bread into roughly one-inch cubes. Start with 8, you can always cut up more if needed.
Add the cubes of bread to the bowl of batter. Fold with a spatula or spoon, don't stir, so the bread gets coated evenly. If there are still puddles of batter on the bottom of the bowl, cut up another slice or two of bread and add those cubes.
Scoop the battered bread cubes into the muffin pan, I like to mound them high, but you can get a few extra in another pan if you don't mound them. Mix together a half teaspoon of cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar and then sprinkle it on the top of each one.
Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and a little crispy on top.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then use a butter knife to go around the edges to loosen them up.
Remove them from the pan and serve warm on a plate. Top with more cinnamon and sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, etc. Enjoy!
