    Burger King’s French toast sticks, from their breakfast menu, are my absolute favorite thing they make. I get them whenever I stop there for a fast food Burger King breakfast.

    Burger King’s version of french toast is simply amazing as far as I’m concerned.

    It occurred to me a little bit ago that I could just make these at home, and the results were fantastic! We matched the maple flavor and we loved how soft and custardy they are. How light and crispy.

    Can’t wait for you to try them.

    This breakfast was inspired by my air fryer french toast sticks recipe on this site and pairs well with this amazing butter pecan syrup recipe.

    If you’re looking for sides to serve with your french toast, look no further. There are so many delicious options listed and I hope you’ll take a look.

    Ingredients

    It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this and I was shocked to find out that Burger King french toast sticks are vegan. These french toast sticks are accidentally vegan but vegan none the less. Just in case you’re interested.

    You’ll find all necessary ingredients easily at your local grocery store.

    • thick sliced white bread 
    • eggs
    • heavy cream 
    • unsalted butter
    • maple extract 
    • salt
    • cinnamon 
    • brown sugar 

    For Frying

    • Canola or another vegetable oil

    Sugar Dusting

    • sugar
    • cinnamon 

    Dipping

    • Maple Syrup

    See the recipe card at the end of the post for exact quantities.

    Instructions

    Making these French toast sticks is just as easy as gathering up the ingredients. It only takes a few minutes and a few steps.

    Step 1: Prep the Bread

    • Bread slices cut into 1 inch strips.

    Cut the bread slices into 1-inch strips.

    Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

    • Eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, maple extract, salt, cinnamon, and sugar in a mixing bowl
    • Ingredients are mixed well.

    Combine the eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, maple extract, salt, cinnamon, and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk well.

    Step 3: Dip the Bread

    • Dipping the cut slices of bread into the bowl of mixture.
    • A cut slice of bread coated in French toast mixture held up by a pair of tongs.

    Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture until fully saturated. Then, place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet. This allows the excess liquid to drip from the French toast sticks before you fry them.

    Step 4: Fry

    • Frying the coated bread slices.
    • Coated bread slices are flipped and now golden brown.

    Heat 1-inch of canola oil to 350 degrees in a frying pan. Then, carefully add the bread strips to the hot oil and fry for 1 minute per side

    Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    • Cooked French toast sticks placed onto a pan with sugar and cinnamon.
    • French toast sticks coated in cinnamon and sugar.

    Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then spread the mixture into a small pan. Roll the fried French toast sticks in the mixture to coat. Serve warm with maple syrup.

    Hint: A bowl with a pour spout makes it easier to dip the bread strips because you can use the spout to shake of excess.

    Substitutions

    Don’t have the correct ingredients on hand or want to change something up? Here are some helpful tips for you to change this Burger King French toast sticks recipe.

    • Any Hearty Bread – You can use any hearty bread you like for this recipe.
    • Milk – If you don’t have heavy cream, milk will work.
    • Salted Butter – If you don’t have unsalted butter, use salted butter and leave out the added salt.

    Variations

    Want to personalize this Burger King French toast sticks recipe? Here are some of my tried and true tips for changing up this recipe.

    • Vanilla Extract – Use vanilla extract in place of maple for a slightly different flavor.
    • Cream Cheese Frosting – Make a thin cream cheese frosting similar to what you’d use on cinnamon rolls and dip the sticks in that instead of syrup.
    • French Toast Bites – Cut your bread strips into thirds to make French toast bites.
    • Fancy Maple Syrup – Make our maple pecan syrup instead

    If you love recipes like this, you may also enjoy this blueberry croissant French toast or my favorite cream cheese stuffed french toast. It is so good.

    Equipment

    It only takes a few simple pieces of kitchen equipment to make this recipe.

    • Bread knife
    • Cutting board
    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Rack
    • Baking sheet
    • Frying pan
    • Shallow bowl

    Storage

    You can store leftovers in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for 4 to 5 days. For longer storage, or to make batches, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

    Tips

    I have a few simple tips here that will make the entire process easier and the final product tastier. These are simple tips, but they make a big difference.

    • Give your bread slices a good soak, but be careful not to soak them so long that they fall apart while you’re holding them.
    • Don’t crowd your pan when frying the French toast sticks. If you do, they’ll get soggy instead of crispy.
    • Let your French toast sticks drain on your prepared baking sheet before frying so they don’t cause excess spatter.
