WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
This baby french toast recipe is simple, adaptable, and made with ingredients I already have on hand. Plus, it's easy to customize as your child grows.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until fully combined.
STEP 1: MAKE THE EGG MIXTURE
STEP 2: HEAT THE PAN
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or coconut oil and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
STEP 3: DIP THE BREAD
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off so the bread is coated but not soggy.
STEP 4: COOK GENTLY
Place the bread in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the bottom is lightly golden but still soft. Flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
STEP 5: COOL AND CUT
Remove the French toast from the pan and let it cool slightly. Cut each slice into 4 pieces. For younger babies, remove the crusts and cut into smaller portions.
STEP 6: SERVE
Serve with soft fruit, yogurt for dipping, and a drizzle of nut butter if desired. For older toddlers, you can add a small drizzle of maple syrup or serve it on the side.
