Doughnuts. We all know I love doughnuts from this post. I really love donuts/doughnuts whatever.
I love bread and pastries in general, carbaholic. So it’s no surprise that I love french toast too 🙂
Wake up and get a whiff of this recipe! Doughnut style french toast!
Eggy bread with cinnamon and vanilla and then drenched in cinnamon and sugar!
A traditional breakfast food, but I say you can eat this any time of the day!
Beat two eggs with vanilla in a wide shallow dish. Cut your bread in half and soak it in the eggy mixture.
Heat the butter and oil in a skillet and cook the eggy bread until golden on both sides.
Mmm, can’t you smell it now!
So you are asking what makes this french toast light a doughnut?
Well after it’s done browning in the skillet you completely cover the pieces in cinnamon and sugar, just like a cinnamon and sugar coated doughnut!
Doughnut Style French Toast
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 slices of wheat bread, cut in half
- 1/2 Tbsp. butter, plus a drop of oil, for cooking
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide shallow bowl or tupperware.
Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for 5 minutes a side.
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan/skillet, cook the egg-soaked bread until golden and browned in parts on both sides.
Put the cinnamon and sugar into a tupperware (big enough for the bread slices) and mix. Add the pieces of french toast one at a time and completely coat the cooked bread until coated like a sugared doughnut!
Serve warm. May drizzle with syrup.
I changed the recipe up from this original one.
SWEET GOODNESS!
Drizzle with a little syrup and VOILA! A party in my mouth!
This would also be great made with cinnamon bread!~
Do you think I ate the last bite? Are you crazy?!
A very decadent way of making a traditional breakfast dish~ I’ll definitely be making this again soon~

Do you ever branch out and make things like this for breakfast?
What is one of your breakfast indulgences?
I smell that all the way from TX!! HEAVEN!
Hahaha Lindsay! 🙂
This sounds amazing! When I first read the post title I thought you were using actual donuts… but this is even better!
That’s an idea too Liz. Alteast bread is healthier 🙂
Oh. My. God. That looks amazing and I want to try it soon. Ah-I have been failing at my french toast addiction lately.
Thanks Hollie – Let me know if you like it when you try it!
French Toast + Doughnuts all in one = pure genius! 😀 Tese sound AMAZING! 😀 Yes, I love to try out new things for breakfast, especially different kinds of french toast! 🙂
Kat, lemme know if you try it and like it!
Omg I think I wanna come over to your house for breakfast! 😀 I can’t remember the last time I had a donut so this is really tempting 😉
Oh Jenny, you could make this as it’s better for you than a donut!
i LOVE french toast and this sounds fantastic. i bet a splash of bourbon would be a wonderful addition. i don’t know why i always want to add liquor to everything
Hahaha, that sure would make it different.
OMG, girl! I think I love you. That looks amazing. I must try it during Spring break when my daughters are home from college b/c they love French toast.
Hahaha Brenda! I hope your girls like it 🙂
Ok, this looks really really good. I would never have thought of it too! Cinnamon sugar is delicious on anything 🙂
I love cinnamon and sugar toast and on my rice pudding too!
I love super sweet breakfasts!! Using doughnuts in French toast is such a fun idea!!
Thanks Sophia!
This looks soooo soooooo good! I could neve eat it … just because I would get super addicted to it and crave it daily! and that would mean a chubby nutritionist… haha! I’m passing this on to my friends for sure! everyone would looove this! ❤
xoxo
I hope your friends like it!
I’ve been a fan of donut-style French toast since I saw Nigella Lawson make some on her program. Yours looks so delicious!
Thank you!
Lord have mercy! Can I live with you?!
Hahaha Kate! Sure, would you clean my house everyday if I cooked?
um new recipe name… melt in mouth goodness drool style french toast?
hahaha!!!
I cannot remember the last time I had French Toast and may need to re-visit it this upcoming weekend. This looks delicious. I always chicken out on the weekends and make eggs instead. A sweet and savory breakfast next weekend is going to happen. 🙂
I love donut anything so yeaaaaaaah, I would be all over this!
I rarely have bread at home or it’s in the freezer and I never remember to let it sit out overnight to stale. Boo. If I do do sweet breakfasts, it’s usually oats. I love pancakes but don’t have a griddle so it’s a little difficult to make.
DUH! Of course I would make this… I love sweet breakfasts, they’re my favorite!! You know this is right up my alley 🙂
So you’re a genius, incidentally. taht looks amazing!
❤

I once dipped my french toast in crushed macademia nuts (after the batter) and then topped with fresh strawberries–mmm mmm!
Um… yes please. YUM!
OH MY GOODNESS! My mouth is watering! I will be making this tonight!

I’ve never made anything like this, specifically, but I do love a decadent breakfast once in awhile!
