French Toast Waffle Sticks for Kids
These French Toast Waffle Sticks are a fun twist on classic French toast! Made with bread strips dipped in a nutrient-dense mixture of eggs, milk, banana, vanilla, cinnamon, and flaxseed. Cooked in the waffle maker until golden and crisp. Perfect no added sugar breakfast for toddlers, kids, and busy mornings!
Ingredients
- 6 slices bread of choice (depending size) cut into strips, about 12 strips total
- 2 large eggs or flax eggs
- ⅓ cup milk of choice
- 1 medium ripe banana mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mashed banana (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and flaxseed until smooth.
- Cut each slice of bread into strips (3 strips for normal sliced bread). Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
- Place the coated bread strips into the waffle maker in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and lightly crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining bread strips and serve warm.
Notes
- The exact number of waffle sticks will vary depending on the size and thickness of your bread. Expect anywhere from 12-18 sticks.
- Slightly stale bread works best because it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
- Cook until golden brown and lightly crisp on the outside for the best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze cooled waffle sticks in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the toaster, air fryer, or oven for the crispiest results.
- Serve with Greek yogurt, nut butter, fruit, or milk for a more balanced breakfast or snack.
