Zucchini Bread French Toast Sticks

Gluten-free Zucchini Bread French Toast Sticks. Wow, that was a mouthful! If you haven’t tried turning banana or zucchini bread into french toast, then you’re in for a treat.

I made zucchini bread a couple of days ago, but it’s hard to finish an entire loaf with a household of two (I know, hard to believe I couldn’t finish sweets). Instead of tossing the bread when it started to dry out, my aunt, a classically-trained chef, had an amazing idea: transform it into french toast. She couldn’t have made a better suggestion. The outside of the french toast is crunchy, while the inside is soft and flavorful from soaking up the spiced egg batter. This is an ingenious way to take one recipe and make two delicious, quick meals.

There are only 6 ingredients, 10 minutes, and a healthy appetite needed for this recipe. Enjoy the zucchini bread as a quick weekday snack, and spice it up by making french toast with the leftovers on Saturday morning. Pair it with bacon on the side for a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Send pictures and share your favorite french toast toppings in the comments below!
