Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut Texas toast bread
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it generously with cooking spray.
- Cut each slice of bread into three sticks widthwise.
- In a large shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract. Dip each stick of bread in the egg mixture, coating it on all sides, then shake off the excess and arrange it on the baking sheet. Repeat the dipping process, arranging the French toast sticks on the baking sheet so that they aren’t touching.
- Bake the French toast sticks for 12 minutes then flip them once, spray them lightly with cooking spray and return them to the oven for an additional 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove the French toast sticks from the oven and serve warm with maple syrup.

Enjoy breakfast for any size crowd with freezer-friendly Baked French Toast Sticks! RECIPE: bit.ly/2i2Q1cD
Notes
- Use parchment paper, not foil. Several readers have reported sticking issues with foil, even when well greased. Parchment paper is the safer choice for the best results.
- Don't skip the cooking spray on the sticks. Spraying the French toast sticks lightly before returning them to the oven for the second bake helps them crisp up and prevents sticking.
- To freeze: Bake as directed, cool completely and transfer to a sealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave straight from frozen for 30 to 60 seconds until warmed through, or pop them in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes for a crispier result.
