Take your bread and with a serrated knife, cut each slice into thirds and set aside.
Mix dry ingredients before pouring in liquid ingredients and whisk well to make sure no clumps remain.
Take each breadstick and dunk it into the batter for just a second to coat, then shake off excess and place on a hot greased skillet or griddle, cooking each side for about 2 – 3 minutes or until both sides are nice and golden.
Set cooked cinnamon sticks back on the wire rack until they are all cooked. Serve them with some extra powdered sugar, fruit and some maple syrup for dunking.
For the vegan hot honey dip:
Combine maple syrup and your favourite hot sauce and mix together. Use to dunk or pour over as desired.
Tips
- Don't soak your bread for too long. (Soft and soggy French toast sticks won’t hold up to hand-held dipping!) You literally just want to dip the bread into the batter for a second to coat, shake it off and place it on your griddle. (For extra French toast stick durability, try lightly toasting your bread before step 1 above).- When making your batter, slowly pour in your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing to help prevent clumping.- When your French toast stick is done cooking, place on a wire rack instead of on a plate to prevent your toaster stick from getting soggy due to condensation.
To Freeze
This recipe is best served immediately, but you can freeze these for later. Once your toast sticks are fully cooked, allow them to cool down completely. Place the pieces in a reusable sandwich bag and place in the freezer for up to 1 month.
To Reheat
When ready to serve, remove the toaster sticks you'd like to eat and place in an air fryer or oven to heat and toast back up.
