Description

Delight in these easy-to-make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites—bite-sized pieces of brioche or white bread soaked in a cinnamon-spiced egg mixture, pan-fried to golden perfection, then coated with cinnamon sugar and optionally drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

French Toast Bites

  • 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

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Soak the bread cubes: Dip the bite-sized bread cubes into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Cook the French toast bites: Heat the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the soaked bread cubes and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until each side is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  4. Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar with cinnamon. Toss the cooked French toast bites in this cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are evenly coated with the sweet, spiced coating.
  5. Prepare optional glaze: If desired, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the French toast bites before serving to add a creamy, sweet finish.
  6. Serve warm: Arrange the bites on a serving plate and serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites!

Notes

  • You can use brioche, white, or any soft bread for the best texture.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute milk with half-and-half or cream.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweet touch, perfect for those who want extra indulgence.
  • These bites can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) if preparing for a crowd.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread.
