French Toast Sticks ready for the oven.
On the August menu I had a recipe for baked French Toast Sticks. I started feeding these to my 1 year old when I was looking for finger foods for him to eat. He LOVES them. I get so many mmmm’s from him when he is eating “toast”. I started looking at the ingredients and decided to adapt my own recipe and make some nutritional additions using advice from the Deceptively Delicious cookbook. Here is the result:
Author/Source:
Tricia Callahan @ Onceamonthmom.com
Ingredients:
- 30 slices whole wheat bread
- .25 cups butter, melted
- 8 eggs
- .33 cups sugar
- 1.33 cups milk (I used whole)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- .5 cups butternut squash puree (could also use sweet potato, pumpkin or acorn squash)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice bread slices into thirds. In a large bowl mix all ingredients except sliced bread. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Dip bread pieces, one by one, in the batter until coated and then place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes turning over half-way through to ensure even cooking on both sides. When done, remove to cooling rack. Serve or freeze.
Freezing Directions:
Allow to cool on cooling rack completely or place on a cool cookie sheet and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes or until partially frozen (flash freezing). Place in Ziploc freezer bag and place in freezer until ready to use. To serve: microwave 30-45 seconds.
Servings:
90 sticks ~30 “toddler” servings

awesome recipe!! thanks
) I’m all about finger food recipes for my daughter…keep them coming! ;o)
Looks good! My little girl loves toast so I’ll have to see if she will eat these
Love this!! I’ve been looking for more finger foods for breakfast. She loves pancakes so I’m sure she’ll like these too!
These sound perfect, I also have a 1-year old and have been branching out a lot on her finger foods!
My daughter is 2 and we loved the version in the August Menu. I used some Pepperidge Farm whole wheat bread that was free at Meijer a couple weeks ago. They were gobbled up very quickly. I love sneaking in the winter squash — I’ll try it next time. We could all benefit from eating more veggies.
This recipe will be perfect for my 2 girls. I have an 11 month old and a 2 1/2 year old so these will get eaten up quick!
Thank you for your sharing this recipe! My son will be one in December and although he developed a milk/soy allergy at 2 months, I am hoping he will outgrow it and be able to eat foods like this.
Do you have other finger food recipes that can be frozen?
I am working on sharing more finger food recipes soon. . . stay tuned
Thanks! My son outgrew his allergies and LOVES the french toast sticks. I plan to make the sweet potato muffins tomorrow.
Do you mean 1 t of cinnamon or 1/10 of a teaspoon? I’m guessing you mean 1 t, but there appears to be a period before the 1!
Ha. Never noticed that before, obviously! It was suppose to be 1 teaspoon. I made the change. Thanks!
Gonna try these tonight. Libbie has now gone from eating fruit, bread, and cheese to eating nothing but bananas and maybe a cheerio here and there. I don’t know what’s going on. Going to try these (sweet) and giving her a baby fork and spoon…? It’s very frustrating!
I know A LOT of people going through this right now. Think I might even write about it. Hang in there!
Wanted to share similar idea we do..we follow the basic receipe from above, but instead of cutting into little pieces I roll it out thin, and then add a fruit puree (blueberry or strawberry are our favorite), then roll then piece up and sqeeze the end to the roll. then dip in the batter, and cook. Then freeze like above…then when i give to my little guy, i cut the rollup into bit size pieces. He loves loves these and it adds some fruit also which i like.
What a great idea! i’ll definetly give that a try.
