Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bread (brioche or white bread), cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Coat the bread cubes: Dip the bite-sized bread cubes into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly soaked and coated.
  3. Cook the French toast bites: Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the soaked bread cubes and cook for about 3-4 minutes, gently turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
  4. Prepare and apply the cinnamon sugar coating: In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss the cooked French toast bites in this cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Make the glaze (optional): Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a glaze. Drizzle this over the French toast bites just before serving for added sweetness.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites warm and enjoy the delicious cinnamon roll flavors in a fun bite-sized snack.

Notes

  • Using brioche bread adds a richer flavor and softer texture to the bites.
  • Make sure to evenly coat the bread cubes in the egg mixture for best results.
  • Turn the bread bites carefully while cooking to avoid them breaking apart.
  • The glaze is optional but adds an extra touch of sweetness and authenticity to the cinnamon roll taste.
  • These bites are great for feeding a crowd or serving as finger food at brunches.
