French Toast Bites
When you think of French toast, chances are you picture thick slices of eggy bread drizzled with a generous helping of maple syrup. But what if you could capture all that same flavor in a bite-sized, snackable treat? That’s exactly what these French Toast Bites do. Using oyster crackers as the base, this recipe transforms a simple pantry staple into an irresistible sweet and crunchy treat. Allow me to walk you through the process…
As we mentioned, plain ol’ oyster crackers serve as the base for this recipe. Bite-sized and ready for a delicious coating, they’re the perfect option for a treat like this. A sweet, caramel-y coating is prepared on the stovetop with butter and brown sugar, then the all-important maple syrup is mixed in along with cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. The coating is poured over the crackers and mixed with chopped pecans for the final touch.
Bake these babies for just over 10 minutes, or until the coating is good and bubbly. Give them about 30 minutes to an hour to cool, then it’s time to break the sheet into bite-sized clusters. At this point they’re ready to be enjoyed for an afternoon snack, be packaged up for a bake sale, or stowed away for a sweet treat after dinner. Whatever the occasion, these French Toast Bites are sure to be a winner!
