Ingredients

  • 10 Slices Texas Toast, sliced into thirds
  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Vanilla Creamer (or Half and Half)
  • 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Cups Cinnamon Frosted Flakes, crushed **If you want to substitute, see substitution notes above**
  • 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

Instructions

  • Grab 2 large, shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the crushed cornflakes and the Panko breadcrumbs. Stir and set aside.
  • In the second bowl, add the eggs, vanilla creamer, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk everything really well.
  • Coat each slice of bread in the egg mixture and then dredge into the cereal/panko mix and set on a plate. When all of the French toast sticks have been coated in the cereal mixture, grab a large skillet. Over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter and add about 1/4 of your French toast sticks (7 or 8 sticks).
  • Cook the French toast sticks about 2 minutes per side, flip and cook another 2 minutes. They are done cooking when they are crispy and golden brown. It will take you about 4 batches to get all of the French toast sticks cooked. Add another 1-2 tbsp of butter to the skillet with each new batch of French toast sticks as you cook them.
  • When all of the French toast sticks have been cooked, top them with sifted powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup (and any other desired toppings).
  • ** Leftovers may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer (In an air-tight bag or container) for 2-3 months. To reheat from the fridge, microwave for 30-60 seconds or heat in a pan until hot. To reheat from frozen, microwave for 60-90 seconds or bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until hot.
