Description

Keto French Toast Sticks: Crispy, low-carb sticks made with keto bread, eggs, and cinnamon. A perfect, delicious breakfast or snack for a keto diet.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices keto bread: The star of the show, keto bread is typically made from almond flour, coconut flour, or other low-carb ingredients. This loaf ensures you can enjoy the classic flavor of French toast without the high carb count.
  • 2 large eggs: Eggs provide the necessary binding elements for the dish and offer a rich flavor when combined with other ingredients. Using high-quality, organic eggs can enhance the taste and nutritional profile.
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish. Always opt for pure vanilla extract over imitation for the best taste.
  • 1 cup milk of choice: You can use whole milk for creaminess, or substitute with almond milk, coconut milk, or heavy cream for a keto-friendly option that aligns with your dietary needs.
  • 1 large pinch salt: Salt enhances overall flavor without making the dish taste salty itself.
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter: Butter is pivotal for cooking the French toast sticks, giving them a crispy texture and richness. Opt for unsalted to control the seasoning in your dish.
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter: This is for sautéing the second batch of French toast sticks, ensuring a consistent taste and texture throughout.
  • For the Cinnamon-‘Sugar’ Coating:
    • 6 tbsp granular Swerve: This natural sweetener mimics sugar without the carbs, making it a perfect component for keto-friendly desserts.
    • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon: Ground cinnamon gives the dish its warm, comforting flavor, transforming it into a delightful treat once coated.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Start by removing the crusts from 8 slices of keto bread. Cut each slice into three equal sticks, setting them aside for later use.
  2. Mix the egg dip: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 cup milk of choice, and a large pinch of salt until the mixture reaches a pale yellow color. This egg dip will help create a luscious coating for the toast sticks.
  3. Make the cinnamon mixture: In another bowl, combine 6 tbsp granular Swerve and 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon. This blend will serve as a delicious coating to give your French toast sticks that classic cinnamon-sugar flavor.
  4. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely, ensuring an even cooking surface for the toast sticks.
  5. Coat and fry the sticks: Quickly dip each breadstick into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess liquid before placing them into the hot butter. Fry the sticks in two batches for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Pay attention to the sizzling sound; if it’s too quiet, your skillet might not be hot enough!
  6. Roll in cinnamon sugar: Once cooked, immediately roll the warm sticks in the cinnamon-Swerve mixture, ensuring they’re well-coated to maximize flavor.
  7. Repeat with remaining sticks: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp unsalted butter and repeat the frying process with the rest of the breadsticks.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Serve your Keto French Toast Sticks warm, optionally with maple-flavored keto syrup for dipping. It’s an excellent way to enjoy your breakfast!
