A quick and easy sheet pan French toast sticks recipe that is crispy on the outside, soft inside, perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 thick slices of sturdy bread like Texas toast or brioche (day-old bread works best)
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or any milk alternative (almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing before baking)
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or nut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Cut the bread slices into sticks about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Day-old bread is ideal because it soaks up the batter without falling apart.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Don’t soak them for too long or they’ll become soggy—just a quick dip will do.
  5. Arrange the coated sticks in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a small gap between each for even baking.
  6. Brush the sticks lightly with melted butter to help achieve a crispy edge and golden color.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through. When done, they should be golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving to maintain crispness.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy bread like Texas toast or brioche for best results. Avoid over-soaking bread to prevent sogginess. Flipping halfway through baking ensures even crispness. Let sticks cool on a wire rack to maintain crispness. For meal prep, dip sticks the night before or freeze after baking. Reheat in oven or toaster oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness. Microwaving may soften the crust.
