Last week I made French toast, served it to the kids alongside little dishes for dipping — maple syrup for Kenya, honey for Chloe — and before I could turn to cut up some fruit, Chloe said, “I wish these were French Toast Sticks”. I get it. There’s something a bit more fun about these little sticks. Aside from being cute, they’re easy for kids to hold and dip. Since the day I first made this recipe it’s been a regular request from both of my kids before bedtime for me to make the next morning.
I’m truly grateful when my kids remind me of their favorites, like these, which are a delicious choice to re-share with you on Rewind Wednesday if I do say so myself!
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 like to use crusty bread like a French baguette or Italian loaf!
Is there a certain bread that others use that makes it taste better???

I hope you don’t mind me sharing my ideas with you…I used to make french toast stick with the store bought cinnamon raisin bread dipped in egg substitute or egg whites and they turned out great. I had to stop buying the cinnamon raisin bread because I found out my daughter has a soy allergy which is in a lot of store brand breads. One day I ran out of eggs and just dipped the bread slices in pancake mix, added some vanilla extract and turned out super yummy and freezes very well. I added cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg too!
