Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 slices white bread, cut into thirds
For Cooking
- Nonstick spray (or butter/oil)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Cut the bread: Slice each bread slice into thirds to create smaller sticks, perfect for dipping and cooking.
- Dip the bread sticks: Briefly dip each bread piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is coated but not too soaked to avoid sogginess.
- Mix cinnamon sugar coating: In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling the cooked sticks later.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the bread sticks: Place the dipped bread sticks on the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Coat in cinnamon sugar: While the sticks are still warm, roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them evenly for a sweet and crunchy finish.
- Serve: Serve immediately with additional maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for a delightful breakfast or snack experience.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better absorption without becoming too soggy.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the coating to your taste preference.
- Serve with fresh berries or bananas for added flavor and nutrition.
- These sticks are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a toaster oven for a crisp finish.
