Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully blended and smooth.
- Coat the Bread Cubes: Dip the bite-sized bread cubes into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is completely soaked and coated for maximum flavor.
- Cook the French Toast Bites: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated bread cubes to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even golden brown color on all sides.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Once the bites are cooked, toss them in this cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are thoroughly coated and fragrant.
- Prepare and Add the Glaze (Optional): If desired, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle this over the warm French toast bites just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve: Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites warm and enjoy them as a delightful breakfast treat or snack.
Notes
- Using brioche bread gives extra richness and softness, but white bread works well too.
- Ensure bread cubes are well-soaked but not soggy for perfect texture.
- The glaze is optional but adds a delicious sweetness reminiscent of classic cinnamon rolls.
- You can adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- These bites are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
