Easy French Toast Sticks

French toast sticks are always a huge hit with kids.  Big or small doesn’t matter your age, we all love to dunk french toast sticks in warm delicious maple syrup.  The best part of this recipe is that you can make it anytime of the day and with any kind of leftover bread you have on hand.  I love challah plus thats what I had on hand so that’s what I used but… you can use thick sliced bread or yummy texas toast (will use texas toast next time I make them).  Serve them with powdered sugar sprinkled on top, fresh berries and warm maple syrup.

Try making these the next time your lil ones are asking for French Toast.  I promise you, you wont be wrong!

Enjoy!
