Preparing Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites
Making these delightful bites is a straightforward process that combines the joy of French toast with the decadence of cinnamon rolls. You’ll start by whisking together the eggs, milk, and spices, creating a delicious coating for your chosen base. Many recipes call for either slices of bread or cinnamon roll dough cut into bite-sized pieces. The choice is yours, but both options yield exciting results.
Once everything is mixed, you’ll simply dip and fry, turning the pieces golden brown and aromatic. In less than half an hour, you’ll be transporting your taste buds to brunch bliss!
What you’ll need
To create this cinnamon-infused breakfast dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 6–8 slices of bread (or cinnamon roll dough cut into small pieces)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter for frying
- Maple syrup for serving
You can easily substitute regular milk for oat or almond milk to cater to dietary restrictions. If you’re in a pinch, feel free to swap the bread with leftover pastries or a different type of sweet dough.
