Non Traditional French Toast Recipes

We don’t talk enough about breakfast time in #TuesdayTips so this week we are covering French Toast. I’m personally not the biggest French toast fan but Matthew is. We don’t typically do a tradition version, although easy, simply changing the type of bread can make it even better. We love using Sourdough, Artisan, Challah and the Panera Cinnamon Raisin loafs if we can. Here are other Non Traditional French Toast Recipes you can try with your kiddos.

I’d make Freezer Challah Bread French Toast Sticks.” – Lisa

“This recipe brings back childhood memories.  We called it ‘Orange French Toast’.  And I liked it just as much today when my kiddos were eating it for their breakfast as I did when I was their age (that just seems like decades ago – oh, actually it was!).  I guess some good things never get old (wish I wasn’t! 😉 ).  The really great thing about it is what it doesn’t have: refined sugar, added oil, dairy or eggs.  What it DOES have is even better: raw cashews, a banana, medjool dates, and 100% O.j. concentrate.” – Kate
