French toast is a breakfast staple. But it can get quite boring, especially for kids. If you are looking for french toast recipes to liven up the breakfast table - you're in the right place.

Read on to learn a few new french toast recipes that are especially fun for kids!

  2. Cut bread into big cubes and dip in the milk mixture to coat each side.

On our hunt for french toast recipes, we have included the kids in the cooking process. It has proven helpful, as they seem to eat more at meal time.

Cute French Toast Stars

Spice up the normal breakfast by taking your average french toast and making them into stars!

  • 8 slices Thick White Bread

  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Almond Extract

  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or melt 1-2 tbsp of butter.

  5. Serve immediately with syrup. 

French Toast Roll-Ups

Of all of the french toast recipes, these are always a kid favorite. French toast, some sugar, Nutella strawberries - you just can't go wrong! We have used cream cheese instead of Nutella, but overall we prefer the chocolate of Nutella.
