French Toast is now portable!
Take your French Toast to work.
Take it to class, take it in the car, sneak it into your little sister’s piano recital… Just don’t blame me if people give you weird looks :-?.
Fast Food?
When I was little, Burger King French toast sticks were a rare treat. On long car trips, or if I had an early-morning soccer game, we’d sometimes pick up BK French toast sticks for breakfast. Yesterday I decided to use Ezekiel cinnamon-raisin bread and make my own French toast sticks:
French Toast to-go!
(serves 2)
Categorized here: Non-Dessert Recipes.
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1 medium, overripe banana (see nutrition link below, for substitution ideas)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp salt
- optional: oil or margarine for cooking
- 4-5 slices bread (or cinnamon-raisin bread)
Either blend first five ingredients, or thoroughly mash your banana with a fork and then add other ingredients (excluding bread). In a wide, shallow dish, put a slice of bread into the batter and let it sit for 30 seconds on each side. (Don’t rush this step!) Fry in a little bit of vegan butter or oil (or you can coat the pan with oil spray if you prefer), and cook on medium-low heat. You’ll probably want to do one slice at a time, so there’s room to flip when it browns. Obviously, you can just eat this as regular french toast… but it’s way more fun to cut into strips and eat with your hands!
Got any remaining batter? Pour it on top of your French toast sticks!
Top with powdered sugar or Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar.
Or dip in syrup, or spread with peanut butter!!
Question of the Day:
How often do you eat fast food?
I think I was destined to be a vegetarian… Even when I was little, I never liked fast-food burgers. My favorite things to order were the Frostys, Taco Bell cinnamon twists, and McDonalds apple pies.
Yesterday I ate my French toast with this milkshake.
Completing the fast-food makeover ;).

Hey Katie! I tried making this recipe twice, and both times, the French toast ended up soggy and mushy. I followed the directions exactly: I used oil on the pan, soaked each side of the bread for 30 seconds, and even used Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread (after my regular cinnamon bread attempt).I cooked them until they very browned too. Yours look so toasted. Any ideas of what I can do? Could it be the cow’s milk?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sorry, I’m not sure… I’ve never made them with cows milk. Maybe just cook longer?
Rachel says
Dearest Katie!
I am almost on the brink of having to shout out lout as I continue scrolling down this beautiful website!! Your recipes are so ooo awesome and yummy I cant believe it!
But theres a still small overly curious voice gnawing on the inside desperately seeking an answer:
Are these YOLO-Meals or are these part of your everyday diet?
And if these recipes-fit-for-mount-olymp-itself are your every days bread,
which diet/exercise routine do you follow??
Sorry if I`m soo intruding but I´d please just like to know 🙂
Thank you very much <3 And keep up the wasome recipe making!!
^^ Yours, Rachel

Now teach me how to make the icing Burger King sells them with!
It’s been 3 years since I’ve had fast food!

I made this for breakfast this morning and I just had to leave a comment! I was stumped on how to make a vegan french toast and flax eggs in place of real eggs are a total NO. The mashed banana worked beautifully and added a touch of carmelized sweetness to the exterior! Vegan or not, these are worth trying! My only thing is the batter was probably enough for only 2-3 of my whole wheat slices. The size of your bananas and bread slices may require you up the batter recipe.
