French toast sticks are a more portable and kid-friendly version of the traditional dish.

You can customize these French toast sticks to your liking by adding your favorite spices, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins to the batter. You can also make them healthier by using whole-grain bread, reducing the amount of sugar, and serving them with healthy toppings such as fresh fruit or yogurt.

PROS

These French toast sticks are the perfect breakfast or brunch food that you can make ahead as a time saver.
They are crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside.
They are easy to eat and can fit well in a lunchbox, or you can take them as a healthy snack for work if prepared the night before.

CONS

These French toast sticks can be high in calories and carbs if served with syrup and whipped cream, or if made from enriched white bread.
So you should be mindful of the serving size and eat it in moderation, especially if you’re on a low-carb or low-calorie diet.

Also, it can be challenging to get the perfect texture for the French toast sticks, as they can quickly become soggy or dry and hard.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While French toast sticks might not be a healthy food choice, they can be nutritious if made from whole-grain bread and served with fresh fruit and yogurt instead of sugary, unhealthy toppings. Whole-grain bread is a good source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein that can keep you full and satisfied for longer. Eggs are also a good protein source and are rich in vitamins A, D, and E.
