Ingredients
Scale
For the French Toast Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the French Toast
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, almond flour, and cinnamon to form a smooth, flavorful batter.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the surface evenly to prevent sticking.
- Dip the bread slices: One at a time, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not soggy.
- Cook the bread: Place the coated bread slices in the heated skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until the surface turns a golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Slice into sticks: Once cooked, remove the bread from the skillet and slice each piece into sticks, suitable for dipping and easy handling.
- Serve warm: Serve the almond vanilla French toast sticks immediately while warm, paired with your favorite syrup or fresh fruit for a tasty breakfast treat.
Notes
- For best results, use day-old or slightly stale bread to ensure it absorbs the egg mixture well without becoming too soggy.
- Almond flour adds a subtle nutty flavor and a slight crunch, but you can substitute it with regular flour if unavailable.
- Adjust the cinnamon amount to your preference for a more or less spiced flavor.
- Butter can be replaced with a non-dairy alternative to make the recipe lactose-free.
- Serve with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or pure maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
