    This classic Easy French Toast recipe uses simple ingredients but is oh-so-delicious! It couldn’t be easier to make and takes less than 20 minutes to get on the table!

    Are you a breakfast fan? Believe it or not, I’m actually not. I would much rather skip over breakfast and go right into lunch or dinner! Sure, I love bacon. I love biscuits and gravy, but I think it’s the timing. I’m not quite ready to dive into a plate of food in the morning. I’d much rather grab my favorite protein bars (Built Bars) and move on with my day.

    However, my kids and hubby LOVE breakfast! On the weekends, my hubby is typically in charge of preparing something for all of them. Things like coffee cakes, baked donuts, egg scrambles, and more are whipped up. Yummy, right? As a treat last night, my hubby decided to make dinner last night and made the most delicious French toast! 

    The kids were thrilled! I was hesitant but on board. We added a package of sausage links to the dinner and considered it complete. Surprisingly, this easy recipe is the best French toast breakfast I have ever had—and I am NOT just saying that. The flavor was incredible, and it was ready to enjoy within 10 minutes!

    Don’t forget to top it off with your favorite fresh fruit and/or syrup! The kids enjoyed theirs with both a drizzle of maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fruit on top. I stuck to just fresh berries on top of mine due to this already being somewhat sweetened from the cinnamon. So, depending on how much sugar you like, you can adjust your serving accordingly! So, if you just want a simple pat of butter, that’s okay too! Sometimes a little melted butter is all you need! The best way to serve it is any way you want it!

    This is truly the best French toast recipe and only uses several basic ingredients! But don’t take my word for it—try it for yourself! If you’re considering trying this out, consider investing in this super convenient electric, nonstick griddle: https://amzn.to/2ye64jk

    • Flour
    • Sugar
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Loaf bread (the best bread to use is Texas Toast—but any works)

    *For exact measurements scroll to the bottom of this post

    Easy French Toast Directions

    1. In a medium or large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
    2. Pour your egg mixture batter into a pie plate or shallow dish to make it easier to dip bread into.
    3. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
    4. Dip your pieces of bread, coating both sides in the batter.
    5. Place the coated slice of bread on the griddle/frying pan and cook 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
    6. Remove the slice and continue until all the bread has been cooked. Serve immediately with toppings desired.

    What to Pair with Easy French Toast

    Curious about what to pair with this delicious homemade French toast recipe?

    French toast is often great on its own but sometimes having something a little savory with it is the perfect side! One option to consider is this Breakfast Egg Scramble! Another great way to pair French toast is with a simple side of sausage links or bacon (regular or vegan).
