Description

These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are a delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring bite-sized bread cubes soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture, pan-fried to golden perfection, coated in cinnamon sugar, and optionally drizzled with a sweet glaze. Perfect for a sweet breakfast treat or snack that’s easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Bites

  • 6 slices of bread (brioche or white bread), cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Coat the bread cubes. Dip the bite-sized bread cubes into the egg mixture, ensuring each cube is well-coated with the mixture to absorb flavor.
  3. Cook the French toast bites. Heat the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the soaked bread cubes and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally with a spatula until the cubes are golden brown on all sides.
  4. Apply cinnamon sugar coating. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Once the French toast bites are cooked, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  5. Make and drizzle the glaze (optional). If desired, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the coated French toast bites before serving.
  6. Serve warm. Plate the French toast bites while warm and enjoy this sweet and tasty treat immediately.

Notes

  • Use brioche or white bread for best results due to their soft texture.
  • Ensure the bread cubes are evenly coated with the egg mixture to avoid dry spots.
  • Cook the bites on medium heat to prevent burning and to achieve a golden crust.
  • The glaze is optional but adds extra sweetness and moisture.
  • These bites are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
