Ingredients
4 thick slices (1 inch / 2.5 cm) of slightly stale white bread
2 large eggs (or 3 small eggs)
1/4 cup milk
A pinch of salt
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
3 tablespoons of butter
Maple syrup for dipping
Instructions
1- Ready to dive in? Making these Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites is a breeze, and I’ll walk you through it step by step. Start by pulling together your ingredients, which only takes about 8 minutes of prep time. This way, you can focus on the fun part without any stress.
2- First, take your 4 thick slices of slightly stale white bread and cut them into 9 equal cubes each, making sure to remove the crusts for a cleaner bite. Next, whisk together the egg mixture: 2 large eggs (or 3 small ones), 1/4 cup milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until it’s nice and smooth. This mixture is what gives the bread that fluffy, flavorful base we’ll sautΓ© later.
3- Now, heat your frying pan over medium heat and melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the 3 tablespoons of butter. Dip half of your bread cubes into the egg mixture, coating them evenly but not letting them soak too long to keep them from getting mushy. Add them to the pan and sautΓ© until they’re browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes this step is key for that golden crunch.
4- Once browned, toss those cubes in the cinnamon sugar mixture, which is made from 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Set them aside and repeat the process with the remaining bread cubes and the rest of the butter. The whole cooking process wraps up in about 7 minutes, so your total time is just 15 minutes.
5- Serve them right away with maple syrup for dipping, and you’ve got a warm, tasty dish for 3 to 4 people. This method keeps things simple and ensures each bite is packed with flavor, making it an perfect easy cinnamon roll French toast bites option for any day.
