French Toast Sticks

July 14, 2010

One of our missions at weelicious is to offer recipes the entire family can enjoy together. A few simple alterations to most any dish suited for mommy and daddy, can make it totally attractive to kids. Take these French Toast Sticks, for example. It's not that I couldn't just hand Chloe, my 15 month old, an entire piece of french toast and have her eat it -- she's actually such an adventurous eater right now, she'll hoover just about anything -- but tailoring a breakfast food my husband and I normally eat with a knife and fork so it's in a fun and appealing kid friendly shape, allows everyone in our family to enjoy the same meal in our own way. These little french toast "fingers" are not only delicious, they're also the perfect size for little hands to hold. Kenya loves dipping them into raspberr-wee sauce, Chloe loves that she can have some independence eating by herself without us cutting her food into little pieces first and I love that you get triple the crusty edges (my favorite part) for each piece of cooked toast since you cut each piece of bread into three sticks . There's truly nothing better then a recipe that fulfills everyone's needs!

    I noticed a Shopping List category on the iPhone app but didn’t notice on a recipe where it said ” add to shopping list”
    So what exactly is that spot for ? Am I over looking something?
    Thanks

      Currently there are two different shopping list things. We have the shopping list on the iPhone app which is a basic shopping list that I have created for everyone to use. It includes all the things that should always be stocked in your kitchen and pantry!

      We are also setting up ZipList, so if you see down below the recipe it says, “add to ZipList”. Click on that and it’ll add the recipe to your ZipList shopping list!

    Made it last night for snack time and was asked to make it again for Breakfast this morning! Kids loved it.

    Thank you for another wee-licious recipe.

    I was given honey when I was under 18 months, and we are pretty sure why ended up getting severe arthritis. I waited until my kids were 21 months. Just my personal opinion.

    for french toast sticks recipe, any other alternative(s) for cinnamon and honey?

    • catherine

      March 1, 2012 at 12:13 pm

      You could use Agave or Sugar in place of the Honey. If you still want a sweet spice flavor, but don’t want to use cinnamon you could try nutmeg instead. Cloves would be yummy, too, but they’re a bit more powerful so use less.

    I freeze these whole and pop in the toaster for a quick breakfast! I cut into sticks after toasting–not quite as good as freshly made but still yummy and better than store bought!

    I made these today for the kids and they loved them. My son asked for more!

    Just made these with an almost-week-old loaf of homemade honey/whole wheat bread. It made my near-stale bread divine! Ahhhh … one more reason to bake regularly. Especially since our 2-year-old gobbled them up!

    If you freeze these, how do you heat up the defrosted ones? I’m afraid the microwave will make them soggy.

      I’d suggest a toaster oven if you have one, or regular oven. :)

    I’ve made a recipe very similar to this multiple times but I bake them all on a cookie sheet at once instead of using a skillet on the stove top. Soooo much easier!! 350 for 25 min. and turn them once half way through.

    Catherine, I made these last night for “breakfast for dinner” with vanilla soy milk and whole wheat bread, served with scrambled eggs and fruit. Super quick and delicious dinner. Thanks for another great idea!

    What a great recipe! How important is it to use whole milk? My toddler doesn’t drink it anymore and we don’t buy it. Thanks! :)

    • catherine

      Whole milk is natural source of calcium which is important for your toddlers bones, I still give my kids whole milk and when I don’t, i give them rice milk :)

    I love these and I also rolled them in ground flax and sprinkled wheat germ on top for some added crunch! Thanks again for such a great resource – you are truly changing many people’s lives a “wee bit” at a time:)

    Hi Catherine, thank you for another great recipe. I noticed you said to use a sauté or griddle pan. I don’t own any non-stick pans in my house, due to the carcinogens in the coating. Is there a line of non-stick pans you recommend and have researched, which are not harmful? Thank you!

    My 2 year old son is the pickiest eater ever; the only foods he’ll eat are bread and cheese. It’s so frustrating! So today after he refused scrambled eggs for breakfast, I made the French Toast Sticks and added a touch of powdered sugar on top to entice him….He loved it! Gobbled up 8 sticks in record time! Thank you! :)

    Just curious if there is a reason that soy milk is not listed as an alernative to cow’s/rice/almond — does soy milk not work well with this recipe? I’m dying to try it, my kids would love this, but we only use soy milk due to allergies.

    • catherine

      August 18, 2010 at 5:03 pm

      No reason at all, the milk listed is what we have normally in the house. You can use soy milk :)

    I made these using Texas Toast instead of regular bread. My kids thought they were delicious. I would suggest adding a little more milk because I ran out with a few more sticks to go.
