Delicious and easy Cinnamon French Toast Bites, perfect as a sweet breakfast or snack. These bite-sized treats combine tender bread soaked in a cinnamon-spiced egg mixture, baked to golden perfection for a delightful crispy exterior and soft interior.

Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast Bites

  • 4 cups bread cubes (day-old bread works best)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or any preferred milk)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, sugar (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine bread and egg mixture: Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly. Allow the bread to soak for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Arrange and bake: Transfer the coated bread cubes into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These French Toast Bites can be enjoyed plain or with syrup, honey, or powdered sugar as toppings.

Notes

  • Day-old or slightly stale bread works best as it soaks up the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or substitute cinnamon with pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.
  • Check bites halfway through baking to ensure they do not over-brown; cover with foil if browning too fast.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven or oven to restore crispiness.
