Make a healthy and protein-rich breakfast for your little one with this easy baby french toast! Made with just a few simple ingredients, this french toast (also called eggy bread) is the perfect texture for baby led weaning and toddlers!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread (or other bread of choice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • butter or oil of choice for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a wide, shallow dish whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil.
  3. One piece at a time, dip the bread into the egg mixture. Let it soak for a few seconds, then flip the piece of bread and allow the other side to soak for a few seconds.
  4. Let the excess egg mixture drip off of the soaked bread and add to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is set but not crisp. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. If the outside browns too quickly, turn the heat down. Repeat with the other piece of bread.
  5. Once cooked, cut the french toast into strips the width of 1-2 adult fingers.

Notes

  • Serve french toast fingers with plain yogurt for dipping, or with a drizzle of unsweetened peanut butter or almond butter. For toddlers or older kiddos, feel free to serve with maple syrup or honey.
  • You may choose to cut the crust from the bread before or after cooking, especially if it is dry and crusty.
  • Feel free to use gluten-free bread or another bread of your choice.
  • Store leftover french toast in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
