French Toast for Babies

This french toast for babies recipe is perfect for baby-led weaning, freezer-friendly, and made from six nutritious ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk

    or any milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

    optional

  • 1 tbsp salted butter

    divided, or vegan butter

  • 8 slices 100% whole-grain bread

    I used Dave's Killer, thin-sliced

Directions

  1. 1

     In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until frothy. 

  2. 2

    Heat 1 teaspoon butter or vegan butter on a skillet on medium. Quickly dip one piece of bread in the egg mixture, turn it over to make sure it's fully coated, and then place it on the heated buttered skillet. Repeat with another piece of bread. Cook on the skillet until the side facing down is golden brown, about 2-4 minutes. Turn bread pieces over and allow to finish cooking until both sides are golden brown. Remove bread slices from the skillet and repeat with the remaining bread slices. 

  3. 3

    Serve in age appropriate ways such as strips or in bite-sized pieces. For older babies (12months +) add a little bit of peanut or almond butter on top for extra healthy fat.
