If you're looking for a sweet and crunchy breakfast treat, look no further than Crunchy Snickerdoodle French Toast. This recipe takes classic French toast and puts a snickerdoodle twist on it with a simple mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. The real star of the show, though, is the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal that coats the slices of bread. When cooked, this French toast has a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a soft and fluffy interior that will melt in your mouth. Serve it with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra decadent breakfast or brunch idea.

Instructions

1.	In a shallow dish, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
2.	In a separate shallow dish, add the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
3.	Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
4.	Coat the bread on both sides with the crushed cereal.
5.	Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray.
6.	Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.

PROS

This French toast is incredibly flavorful, with the familiar taste of a snickerdoodle cookie.

The addition of the crushed cereal adds a satisfying crunch to every bite.

CONS

This recipe uses fat-free half-and-half to save on calories, but using full-fat dairy may result in a richer and creamier flavor.

This breakfast dish is high in sugar and carbohydrates, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
