I mean, they obviously can describe them, but they will never be able to do them justice. This is without a doubt one of my favorite breakfast posts on this blog.
So, did you guys ever have those frozen french toast sticks when you were a kid? I did and while they weren’t my favorite breakfast food, I still liked them. Especially dipped in some syrup. I gave up eating those frozen french toast sticks a long time ago because I realized there was nothing good about them, at least ingredient-wise, BUT ever since then I have wanted to make my own. For the last year I have been searching high and low for Texas Toast they used in those french toast sticks, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. Finally, the other week it hit me that I could just make my own variation of french toast sticks. And a better variation at that.
FYI, buttery croissants trump Texas Toast any stinkin’ day. Go big or go home, right?
And caramelizing french toast? Just wow, it’s honestly the best thing ever. But coffee caramelized too? Yeah, so good.
I know some of you do not do coffee, and in that case you can simply leave it out, but I am not even a coffee drinker and I loved this. It’s not over powering in any way, but adds awesome flavor that works with the brown sugar/butter combo.
So I know that some of those sticks may look burnt, but they’re not. That’s just the beautiful caramelization. These sticks are ever so slightly crunchy on the very outside and super soft and buttery on the inside. It really is an awesome thing.
And that gif up there? Yeah, it may be my new favorite thing to stare at. I mean, the french toast sticks just look so good, and I swear they taste even better.
I also have to say that my siblings loved these. There was not one thing they complained about. They dipped, ate and where happy. That in itself is a miracle.
Ok, so let’s start dippin.
