OMG, girlies! Let me tell you about this absolutely divine breakfast snack that’s been driving my family crazy (in the best way possible!). I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my late-night Pinterest sessions, and after tweaking it to perfection, I just HAD to share it with you all!
Meet my Maple-Cinnamon French Toast Bites – they’re like little clouds of breakfast heaven that you can pop right into your mouth! Trust me, these babies are perfect for those mornings when you want something special but don’t want to spend forever in the kitchen (because honestly, who does?).
Here’s what you’ll need (shopping list time! 💁♀️):
– 6 slices of day-old bread (the slightly stale kind works best, just saying!)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/3 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup (the real stuff, honey – none of that fake business)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
– Optional toppings: extra maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries
Now, let’s get cooking! 🍳
1. Cut your bread into 1-inch cubes (I like them bite-sized and adorable)
2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined
3. Toss your bread cubes into the mixture and let them soak for about 5 minutes (perfect time to scroll through your phone, right?)
4. Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat
5. Add the soaked bread cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side)

The secret to making these extra special? A little sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar mix while they’re still hot! I’m telling you, these little morsels are absolutely addictive. My kids literally fight over the last few pieces, and my husband? Well, let’s just say he’s been “coincidentally” working from home more often since I started making these! 😉
The best part? You can make a bunch and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long – good luck with that!). Just pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm them up, and they’re good as new!
Seriously, y’all, these French Toast Bites are a game-changer for breakfast or brunch. They’re perfect for those busy mornings when you need something quick but still want to feel fancy. Plus, they’re totally customizable – add some chocolate chips, nuts, or whatever your heart desires!
