Baked French Toast Cups

Mar 10, 2021 14 Comments

Baked French Toast Cups are a portable, kid-friendly breakfast that are lower in added sugar and higher in homemade flavor as compared to many store bought French toast varieties!

Why You’ll Love These Baked French Toast Cups

These French toast cups are made with wholesome ingredients. They are quick enough to make fresh in the morning, are great for meal prepping, and are perfect to freeze for a quick reheat in the microwave too! You can also add a few of your favorite add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or yes, chocolate chips to the batter. But don’t let the plain Jane version fool you. They are delicious without any extras!

I was shocked when I decided to look at the food label of my four tops favorite store-bought French toast and realized I needed to get out of my breakfast funk and try making something to appease their little French toast-loving taste buds. That’s the long-winded justification for how I came up with these cute French toast cups.

Yes, there’s still sugar in them. And yes, I’m not eliminating sugar from their diet completely. But I’m definitely more conscious of it now that I NOTICE they’re clamoring for chocolate and candy vs. my cooking. I don’t blame them… but as the saying goes, “Mom knows best.” Can I get a round of applause, please?!

Sugar Tip

Concerned about how much sugar is in your diet or your child’s? Here’s a trick to keep track! When looking at a nutrition facts label on packaged foods, you’ll see a line for sugar. Every 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon measurement.

    This is a great dish to take out to the men in the field. We’re into grape harvest and our day begins around 4 am, so having something nutritious for a breakfast snack is a must. This is easy to throw together in a hurry, easy to transport, and easy for the guys to eat on the go. I used Oregon Trail raisin bread – it’s a bit heartier but baked up beautifully without any alterations to your recipe. Perfect!

    I had to make them in mini cupcake tins since I couldnt find my regular one and They were yummy. I’m not sure but I feel I could taste the egg a little. Nonetheless they were good and worth trying again.
