Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites


  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • Optional: Cream cheese frosting drizzle

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread

  1. Cut the bread slices into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Set aside.

2. Make the Egg Mixture

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.

3. Coat the Bread

  1. Dip each bread cube into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Shake off any excess.

4. Cook the Bites

Option 1: Frying
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.
  2. Add the coated bread cubes in batches, cooking for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Transfer the cooked bites to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Option 2: Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the coated bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp.

5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

  1. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  2. Toss the cooked bread cubes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

6. Add Optional Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a simple glaze.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the bites or serve it on the side for dipping.
  3. Optional: Drizzle cream cheese frosting over the top for an extra indulgent touch.

7. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the bites warm as a standalone treat or pair them with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  2. Enjoy every bite of these sweet, spiced, and indulgent Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites!
  3. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Tips for Success

  • Use Soft Bread: Softer bread like brioche or challah absorbs the egg mixture better and creates a richer texture.
  • Switch Up the Coating: Substitute cinnamon sugar with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for variety.
  • Add Extras: Stir in raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts into the bread cubes before coating for added texture.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
