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!

Delicious. Made them this morning! Thanks. Lazy BBQ chicken is on the menu this week too!
[…] been too good due to teething. This is on top of him being a picky eater! Anyways, I came across this recipe on my trusted Weelicious. I served them with warm maple syrup. After I ate one, I couldn’t […]
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!
I love French toast and would love to make it for my 3 year old son. Any suggestions on how to replace the egg, as he’s allergic to them? I have tried using bananas in the past, but the result was was too mushy.
I made these this morning for my 19 month old girl and they were very well-received 🙂 I used to make french toast and served an entire piece to her and she struggled to finish it. Now I see what you mean about making a few simple alterations to make the food kid-friendly as I actually see the result! Thank you for the recipe and idea!
Delicious!
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!
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
Yum! Can’t wait to make these! Thanks for all the extra tips! I love your site! It motivated me to try some new recipes for my kids – thanks!
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.
Wonderful! Thank you!
My children loved these! I could not make them fast enough. Thank you. I have 4 picky eaters. It is a keeper. I can’t wait to try all of your other recipes.
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.
for french toast sticks recipe, any other alternative(s) for cinnamon and honey?
