Cinnamon Sugar Challah French Toast Sticks!

The BEST Cinnamon Sugar Challah French Toast Sticks! These are the ultimate breakfast or brunch recipe to make when you are craving french toast and they are made in the oven.

Looking for the most insane and delicious brunch recipe for the family?!

I gotchu covered guys! These Cinnamon Sugar Challah French Toast Sticks are a family favorite over here and something we make all the time.

I grew up eating a lot of challah French toast. It is truly one of my favorite comfort foods that always hits the spot. And it is the best way to use up any leftover challah from the holidays. Or just switch up the go-to breakfast recipe.

To be honest, this is one of those recipes that makes for a kick a$$ breakfast for dinner idea. We always pair it with my crispy oven bacon too. Ez, Jord and I all devour this. And when my brother hears challah French toast is happening – he basically sprints on over to our apartment for some too.

You will see below that this recipe is super simple and easy to make. You only need a few ingredients and I also bake this in the oven instead of cooking it on the stovetop. I personally think it turns out better in the oven than on a pan when it comes to French toast sticks. And you make less of a mess over a clean stove, which you guys know drives me nuts.

What ingredients you need to make Cinnamon Sugar Challah French Toast Sticks:

• Challah bread – sliced into 1-inch slices. You can also use any other thick-cut bread too if you prefer or don’t have challah bread
• Non-dairy milk – any variety!
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• Coconut sugar
• Coconut oil – or use melted butter of ghee
• Optional: 1 scoop of MegaFood Daily Turmeric Nutrient Booster Powder. I love using this powder in here for the flavor, but the best way to use this powder is in a cold or room temperature drink or recipe. I personally never remember to sprinkle turmeric on roasted veggies or anything and forget about it so easily. MegaFood makes this amazing turmeric powder that you can easily put into your smoothies, overnight oats, chia puddings, anything! It combines real food and nutrients like turmeric, vitamin C, black pepper, and tart cherry. And you can snag 15% off all MegaFood with my code RACHL (more on some of my other faves from them here).

5. Mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl
